- fix build with cbindgen 0.6.7
- really disable media autoplay by default, the knob changed (cf #1470082)
- use about:blank as default homepage/new tab page in new profiles.
Rationale: some parts of Activity Stream (the new Firefox Home) are nice
(ie searchbox, highlights, topsites from browsing history, etc) but
'snippets' is invasive (them being broken is a driver for this version,
cf #1503047, where comments are.. worrying), as is 'Recommended by
pocket' content shown to some countries (DE, CA, US..) - sadly, those
two sections cant easily be disabled (cf #1504279) on about:newtab, so
use the about:blank big hammer for privacy. Existing profiles still
using the default 'Firefox Home' are advised to visit
about:preferences#home and uncheck 'snippets' and 'pages saved to
pocket'... and read https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/.
While here add a section in pkg/README advising users using NIS or with
profiles on NFS to add getpw to the content process pledge, as it's
apparently needed in those conditions.
libFTDI is an open source library to talk to FTDI chips: FT232BM, FT245BM,
FT2232C, FT2232D, FT245R, FT232H and FT230X including the popular bitbang
mode. The library is linked with programs in userspace, no kernel driver
required.

C++ templates, though not libgmpxx.
Split off the C++ support into a separate cxx subpackage. Add a
no_cxx bootstrap flavor and use it for the dependency chain up to
lang/gcc/4.9 in order to allow bootstrapping a C++ compiler from
ports.

This fixes CVE-2018-18074: "before 2.20.0 sends an HTTP Authorization header to
an http URI upon receiving a same-hostname https-to-http redirect, which makes
it easier for remote attackers to discover credentials by sniffing the
network."
