Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

FInally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combinatio for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Remove the FreeBSD KEYWORD from all rc.d scripts where it appears.
We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this
is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at
this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid
perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.

Thanks to kris and krion for running several cluster test builds,
maintainers of GNOME for prompt responses, portmgr for postponing ports
freeze for this update, testers on FreeBSD-X11@ list and others that I
might have mised here.

Also included:
- fix for ATI Mobility on Dell Inspiron 7500 (obtained from Marc Aurele La
  France; obtained and tested by julian)
- fix for kbd driver on Sparc64 (tested by Aaron Dudek, Michael G. Jung and
  Matthias Muthmann), which still appears to have problems with some
  keyboards - so
- fix for kbd driver on PC98 (reported and tested by NAKAJI Hiroyuki; PR
  ports/77217)
- fix for i810 on HP D530 (obtained from Egbert Eich; obtained and tested
  by Anders Nor Berle; PR ports/74757)

Add rcNG startup script. [1]

Font cache is not build by default, which makes related lines in
default configure file wrong, which in turn causes xfs to error out
on startup with default file. Tweak generation of said file in a way
that would make proper configuration depending on existance of font
caching code, so that this patch can be sent upstream. [2]

Inspired by:    Jose M Rodriguez (josemi at freebsd.jazztel.es) [1]
Bits and pieces for [1] stolen from:
                src/etc/rc.d/xfs, apache2 and squid ports

Update X.Org ports to 6.8.1, and the DRI port to use Mesa 6.2.  Because Mesa 6.2
DRI drivers are incompatible with the old libGL in XFree86, they have been
repocopied to graphics/xfree86-dri.  Also note that with this commit the html
manpages are going away, and with it the runtime dependency on perl for the
imake port.

Props to:       kris (multiple cluster runs and sorting through logs)
                lesi (fixing all the issues in those logs, and more)
