devel/electron37: unbreak non-root build with poudriere
The chromium source archive hosted at GitHub is splitted into multiple
fragments due to size constraints. We have to concatenate them into a
single tarball before extracting it.
Previously, the combined tarball was written to DISTDIR/DIST_SUBDIR,
which may not be writable by the poudriere user. So change the
directory to WRKSRC:H and manually extracting the tarball to avoid
such breakage.
While here, replace WRKDIR/PORTNAME-ELECTRON_VER with WRKSRC:H for
better consiceness and readability.

Removing __rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable was too early. It is still

devel/electron{32,34,35,36,37}: temporarily mark as BROKEN on i386
In pre-fetch target, a node process tries to fetch necessary node
modules for building the port. Currently on i386 platform, the process
stalls and eats up all available CPUs until it is killed, which is a
problem.
So temporarily mark electron ports as BROKEN on i386 platform until
the problem is solved.
