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.

x11-wm/gamescope: add new port

In an embedded session usecase, gamescope does the same thing as
steamcompmgr, but with less extra copies and latency:

- It's getting game frames through Wayland by way of Xwayland, so
  there's no copy within X itself before it gets the frame.
- It can use DRM/KMS to directly flip game frames to the screen, even
  when stretching or when notifications are up, removing another copy.
- When it does need to composite with the GPU, it does so with async
  Vulkan compute, meaning you get to see your frame quick even if the
  game already has the GPU busy with the next frame.

It also runs on top of a regular desktop, the 'nested' usecase
steamcompmgr didn't support.

- Because the game is running in its own personal Xwayland sandbox
  desktop, it can't interfere with your desktop and your desktop can't
  interfere with it.
- You can spoof a virtual screen with a desired resolution and refresh
  rate as the only thing the game sees, and control/resize the output
  as needed. This can be useful in exotic display configurations like
  ultrawide or multi-monitor setups that involve rotation.
