ports-mgmt/pkg_rmleaves: Update 20231217 => 20260412

Changelog:
* Show at most 250 leaf packages at a time (over multiple dialogs if needed)
  to stay within ARG_MAX kernel limit for command line arguments to bsddialog.
* Support for the very old FreeBSD pkg_delete package manager is now deprecated
  and will be removed completely in next release.

Port changes:
* Pet portfmt: add newline PLIST_FILES.
* Switch to PORTVERSION.
