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) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Description:
portaudit provides a system to check if installed ports are listed in a database of published security vulnerabilities. After installation it will update this security database automatically and include its reports in the output of the daily security run. If you have found a vulnerability not listed in the database, please contact the FreeBSD Security Officer <security-officer@FreeBSD.org>.

- let the ports-secteam maintain this port instead of secteam.  This should
assign PRs to the appropriate place. [1]

Portaudit 0.6.0:

Fix remote code execution which can occur with a specially crafted
audit file.  The attacker would need to get the portaudit(1) to
download the bad audit database, e.g. by performing a man in the
middle attack.

Add signature verification of the portaudit database.  The public key
is for the database generated for portaudit.FreeBSD.org is included
in the distribution.

(This parts add the portaudit public key missed in initial commit.)

Add some improvements via Doug:

This patch changes the order in which the conf file is read vs.
when the default variable assignments are made in order to provide
the ability to override them in the conf file. It also adds the
ability to include a conf file in the same directory as the script.

The patch also changes some of the = assignments to := where
having a null setting by mistake would be fatal.

The use case for these changes is the ability to "package" all
of the elements together in one place for use on multiple systems
that can all mount the same central location.

Download portaudit database from http://portaudit.FreeBSD.org/ instead
of http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/.

This is primarily done to work around bug in lighttpd on www.FreeBSD.org
where If-Modified-Since isn't handled correctly possibly resulting in
users behind web proxies getting an outdated version of the portaudit
database.

Bump portaudit version number.

Big thanks to the reporter for the detailed PR with good information
about reproducing the issue.
