net/boinc-client: Build packages for all BOINC projects out of the box
While power users may customize build options to suit their needs,
most common users would greatly benefit from having pre-built packages
suitable to run the widest possible set of BOINC projects available.

net/boinc-client: Add GNU/Linux graphics options; backport CPU fixes
* Add LINUXGL and LINUXGLU options for GNU/Linux-compat science apps
that require libGL/libGLU (World Community Grid, Rosetta)
* Update hostinfo_unix.cpp patch: fix a CPU vendor-string
register-clobber bug on FreeBSD, expand CPU feature detection
* Add procinfo_unix.cpp and app.cpp patches: add FreeBSD-native
process enumeration and host-wide CPU-busy detection, replacing a
non-functional /proc-based implementation, so CPU-load-based task
suspension works correctly when boinc-client runs inside a jail.
