net-p2p/{lib,r}torrent-devel: New ports

LibTorrent is a BitTorrent library written in C++ for *nix, and
rtorrent is a ncurses BitTorrent client built on top of it.

These ports track the development series leading up to 1.0, starting
with 0.16.26. net-p2p/{lib,r}torrent stay at 0.16.25, the last release
of the stable series.

Changes in 0.16.26:
- Cascading logging categories replaced by errors/events/debug_trace,
  which may break existing configuration files and web frontends
- log_subsystem removed from the logging API
- torrent::Rate reimplemented with a per-second ring buffer
- Library version bumped to libtorrent.so.54

Add CONFLICTS_INSTALL to net-p2p/{lib,r}torrent accordingly.

ChangeLog: https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/releases/tag/v0.16.26

* Update the glib to 2.34.3 and gtk20 to 2.24.17 and gtk30 to 3.6.4 which
  are the latest stable releases.
* Update vala to the newest stable release 0.18.1, also update a few ports
  in the gtk/gnome stack.
* The c++ bindings ports for glib, atk, gconf, etc, have now USE_GNOME toggles.
* Remove pkg-config run depends from glib20 and freetype2. This doesn't
  eliminate pkg-config run dependency completely, a second phase is needed
  and is planned.
* Support for .:run. and .:build. for USE_GNOME components was added.
  Currently only libxml2 and libxslt support this mechanism.
* Updates of the telepathy stack and empathy.
* Trim makefile headers, convert ports to new options, trim off library
  versions for some ports.
* Fix other ports so they build with the new glib version.

Thanks to miwi and crees for helping out with some exp-runs.
