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.

Description:
This port contains packages from a near-minimal installation of Red Hat Linux 8.0. These packages, in conjunction with the linux module, form the basis of the Linux compatibility environment. This port is only available for the i386/amd64 architecture. If you use an Alpha computer, please install the linux_base port instead of this one. If you want to run X11 applications, install the x11/linux-XFree86-libs port.

The read-only LINUXBASE case (after installing the ports, of course) has
to besolved differently, since the ldconfig call has to be chrooted, else
the linux ldconfig will cache some FreeBSD native libs which results in
not being able to start some programs:
 - remove the symlink (linux_base)
 - revert to chroot the ldconfig call (with internal functionality this
   time)

Mega-patch to cleanup the ports infrastructure regarding our linux bits:
  - USE_LINUX now implies NO_FILTER_SHLIBS=yes. It also doesn't use FreeBSD
    tools to strip binaries anymore, so it's not neccesary anymore to override
    STRIP and STRIP_CMD.
  - USE_LINUX_PREFIX implies NO_MTREE now.
  - In the USE_LINUX case, USE_XLIB now depends upon the linux X11 libraries
    instead upon the native FreeBSD libraries.
  - The variable LINUX_BASE_PORT contains a string which is suitable as an
    item in *_DEPENDS, so if a port BATCH_DEPENDS or FETCH_DEPENDS upon the
    default (or overriden) linux base, ${LINUX_BASE_PORT} should be used
    instead of a hardcoded reference.
  - Change all ports to comply to the "new world order".
  - The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port.
    Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use
    ${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use

Minimal changes to let users update the linux base and the linux X11 bits
in any order:
 - add the X11 lib path to ld.so.conf in the linux base port
 - (re)generate the ld.so.cache file in the linux base port too
 - don't change the ld.so.conf in the linux X11 port

At deinstall time the linux base port may still complain about a changed
ld.so.cache file. A clean way to solve this would be to use ("@unexec" and
"@exec") in the plist. Since the plist is autogenerated this would need
some little magic in the plist generation or we have to switch to a static
plist. Delay the decission about how to handle this until we know when/how
to update to a more recent linux base port.

Say hello to the linux mega patch, it consolidates our linux bits a
little bit and allows to proceed to a more recent linux_base from
a stable (read as: the major bugs should be ironed out or identified
and most linux ports build just fine) source.

It also allows to ship 4.11 with a working linuxolator (the EOLed
linux_base is marked forbidden because of a security hole).

This is a major update, please read UPDATING (and CHANGES if you
develop linux ports).

Changes:
 - change the default linux_base from v7 to v8
 - add a newer freetype to linux_base-8 for nicer fonts display [1]
 - don't let cpio use hardlinks in the linux_base-8 port to quiet some
