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:
portupdate-scan simplifies dealing with /usr/ports/UPDATING when you have so many ports installed that it is difficult to know which sections are relevant. It reads /usr/ports/UPDATING, attempting for each block to determine whether the affected ports are installed. It omits blocks that do not apply. It handles wildcards and other special cases, however it cannot handle all variants of phrases used on the AFFECTS: line. In uncertain cases, it errs on the side of reporting.

- Patch to ports-mgmt/portupdate-scan to deal with problems which have surfaced
recently, parsing the files /usr/ports/MOVED and /usr/ports/UPDATING. MOVED had
an extra blank line on the end for awhile, and the case of some of the UPDATING
lines have changed (e.g., Author: instead of AUTHOR:). This patch allows
portupdate-scan to tolerate these variances.
