Move ports that I wrote to my personal email address.

Update misc/biosfont-demos and sysutils/biosfont to version 1.3

The ports are now directly sourced from github instead of LOCAL.
The showdati program now works again on FreeBSD (tested on an
Asus ROG GL553VW in CSM mode, UEFI mode return blank characters).

pkg-message UCL triggers only work on one type at a time.

Reported by:	mat

UCL-ify pkg-message of my ports.

Update the WWW line of the biosfont ports to point to their GitHub repository.

Change WWW line of ports that point to my web site, which is now served over
HTTPS.

While here, regenerate patch for lang/bf2c to pet portlint.

Drop ftp://rene-ladan.nl/pub/ as mirror.
While here use shorter form for "local" master sites.

sysutils/biosfont: remove some unnecessary leftovers.

rene-ladan.nl is online again, re-add it to MASTER_SITES

rene-ladan.nl is online again, re-add WWW line to pkg-descr

Add staging support

Featuring:	bapt

Add NO_STAGE all over the place in preparation for the staging support (cat:
sysutils)

SSP support has been added to ports with WITH_SSP for i386 and amd64
on FreeBSD 10, and amd64 on earlier versions.

SSP_UNSAFE is added to disable in a port if it fails to build, but
this should only be used in rare circumstances such as kernel modules.
Otherwise, the port may just be failing due to lack of respecting
LDFLAGS.

On FreeBSD 10, this uses an ldscript in /usr/lib/libc.so to pull in
libssp_nonshared.a to address issues linking on i386 [1].

On earlier FreeBSD versions the WITH_SSP knob will add -lssp_nonshared
to LDFLAGS on i386. This is not needed on amd64. However, several hundred
ports do not currently respect LDFLAGS, so this support is disabled currently
as it causes build failures if a dependency is looking for the stack_chk

- remove empty OPTIONS_DEFAULT
- portlint fixes

Remove now empty files/ directory.

Feature safe:	yes

- Update to 1.2.1 to include the clang fix and proper licensing.
- Override KMODDIR in Makefile, otherwise it installs the kernel
  module in /boot/kernel instead of /boot/modules [1]
