Description:
Google Compute Engine offers scripts and daemons which run in the background and provides the following services: - Accounts daemon to setup and manage user accounts, and to enable SSH key based authentication. - Clock skew daemon to keep the system clock in sync after VM start and stop events. - Instance setup scripts to execute VM configuration scripts during boot. - IP forwarding daemon that integrates network load balancing with forwarding rule changes into the guest. - Metadata scripts to run user provided scripts at VM startup and shutdown. - Network setup service to enable multiple network interfaces on boot.

*/*: PORTREVISION++ on some @sample-using ports

The handling of @sample with regard to no-root installation was
recently fixed, by 452309533805 (in ports) plus changes in pkg 2.4.
These need new packages built before they will correctly install,
including into VM images generated as part of the FreeBSD release
process.

Unfortunately with the release scheduled for just a few weeks away
and generally slow arm64 package building, there isn't time for a
full pkg set rebuild; so bump a handful of ports which are used in
the release process so that they will be rebuilt.

Users who are not building VM images using the "no-root" pathway
(aka using a METALOG index of the disk image) are not affected by
this; we doubt anyone other than re@ will notice.

MFC note:	emulators/qemu, security/sudo, and security_ca_root_nss
		had different versions in 2025Q4 than in main, so the
		PORTREVISION-bumping patch did not directly apply.
With hat:	re@
Discussed with:	bapt, antoine

(cherry picked from commit f5f42750a3722858fb976a47fbe320d7952b7c09)
