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.

sysutils/cpu-microcode*: support early loading of AMD ucode

Install the AMD ucode in /boot/firmware for early loading just like
is done for intel.  Update the instructions for early loading to
reflect that AMD is now supported too.

sysutils/cpu-microcode-*: Reorganize CPU microcode ports

Prior to this update, sysutils/devcpu-data, which only contained an RC
script, had run dependencies on the AMD and Intel microcode ports.  This
made it cumbersome to have just the AMD or just the Intel microcode
ports installed.  With this change, the microcode ports now depend on
the RC script.

Other changes:

- Use more intuitive port names: cpu-microcode, cpu-microcode-amd,
  cpu-microcode-intel, and cpu-microcode-rc.
- Add the metaport, cpu-microcode, which pulls in all related ports.
- Pet portclippy/portfmt
