Description:
Vectorscan is a portable fork of Intel's Hyperscan, a high-performance multiple regex matching library. It follows the regular expression syntax of the commonly-used libpcre library, yet functions as a standalone library with its own API written in C. Vectorscan uses hybrid automata techniques to allow simultaneous matching of large numbers (up to tens of thousands) of regular expressions, as well as matching of regular expressions across streams of data. This portable fork extends support beyond x86 to additional architectures including ARM NEON/ASIMD and Power VSX, making it suitable for a wider range of platforms while maintaining API compatibility with Hyperscan 5.4.

devel/vectorscan: disable FAT_RUNTIME on FreeBSD 14

The "fat" runtime build uses build_wrapper.sh to rename symbols via nm(1)
with the -f posix flag, which is not supported on FreeBSD 14.

devel/vectorscan: Fix various style issues.

- Use DISTVERSION instead of PORTVERSION
- Fix variable ordering
- Fix compiler requirement: compiler:c++11-lib -> compiler:c++17-lang
- Respect CFLAGS: patch cmake/cflags-generic.cmake to not hardcode -O3,
  and patch CMakeLists.txt to not strip -O from config-specific flags
- Add OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS option (default on) to restore -O3 for performance,
  letting users opt out while matching upstream intent
- Fix options ordering: OPTIONS_DEFAULT before OPTIONS_RADIO, descriptions
  and helpers in canonical order
