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.

ports-mgmt/synth: Upgrade version 1.34 => 1.40

This release brings a behavioral change to Synth.  The action of building
package repositories is much more conservative now; packages that would
fail sanity checks are only removed under the following commands:
  * synth prepare-system
  * synth upgrade-system
  * synth rebuild-repository
  * synth everything

That means the following commands will never result in built packages
being removed now:
  * synth install
  * synth build (followed by "yes" to rebuild repo question)
  * synth force (followed by "yes" to rebuild repo question)

Other changes/fixes:
  * The PORTSCAN.SEEK_FAILURE exception is usually a false positive and
    should be fixed now
  * Under test mode leftover check, all changes to /var/db between
    installation and deinstallation are ignored rather than being flagged
    as a failure (see databases/mysql56-server test failure)
  * Add support for DragonFly's /boot/modules.local (similar to FreeBSD's
    /boot/modules)
  * Bring in ports patch to use installed libraries instead of the bundled
    versions

ports-mgmt/synth: Stop using bundled adacurses & IFM

Now that the Ada Framework is based on GCC6 by default, it is no
longer required for Synth to bundle and build a local version of
devel/adacurses and misc/ini_file_manager.

Switch the port to normal BUILD_DEPENDS and remove the bundle
distfile information.  No bump is required because these libraries
are statically linked into Synth, so there's no practical difference
between older and newer packages.

ports-mgmt/synth: Upgrade version 1.33 => 1.34

* Incorporate prefetch partial-revert patch (1.33_1) and remove the
  patch and files directory.
* Add lang/rust and lang/rust-nightly to the list of ports that require
  procfs to build.  This is only true for DragonFly.  The plan is to
  eliminate this requirement, but it's a bit tricky right now.  Once
  done, the rust ports will be removed from the list again.
* Move /var/db/fontconfig directory exception from post-build to all
  stages.  The doxygen port has shown that /var/db/fontconfig changes
  during the build phase and this is legitimate.

ports-mgmt/synth: Fix regression

The empty-queue check was supposed to improve pre-fetch behavior,
but it negatively affected other use modes, so remove the check
for now.
