"chsh -s /usr/local/bin/git-shell user" already works but is more typing
and inconsistent with other shells.

Since hw.smt was introduced git may use more threads than there are cpus
actually available on the system. Fix this using
sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN).
Fix memory amount detection in git gc: HW_PHYSMEM64 has been needed for
years to handle hosts with more than 2GB of ram. Leave the HW_PHYSMEM
code path alone for other BSD systems, but fix it so that the detected
amount of memory isn't random stack garbage.

UID switching was controlled via git-dameon's --user option in $daemon_flags.
This is problematic in case $gitdaemon_flags is unwittingly set to some value
which omits the --user option: git-daemon would then run as root.
The fix implemented here sets $daemon_user to _gitdaemon by default,
and leaves $daemon_flags empty by default. This ensures that git-daemon
runs as user _gitdaemon regardless of the value of $gitdaemon_flags.
Anyone using git-daemon should check their system. If gitdaemon is
currently running as root, set gitdaemon_user=_gitdaemon in rc.conf.local
and restart the service.

Follow the upstream recommendations for packagers and switch to
multi-packages:
devel/gettext -> devel/gettext,-runtime
devel/gettext-tools -> devel/gettext,-tools
(new) devel/gettext,-textstyle
Drop obsolete patches:
- patch-Makefile: obsoleted by changing into t/ within do-test
- patch-perl_Makefile_PL: removed upstream
- patch-t_t0000-basic_sh, patch-t_t9200-git-cvsexportcommit_sh: succeed
- patch-t_test-lib_sh: "70ec6bd63 Stop using sum(1)" (14.08.2017)
While here, use Python 3 and replace `cd && make' with `make -C'.

The `git` subcommand `cvsserver` is a Perl script which makes excessive
use of the backtick operator to invoke `git`. Unfortunately user input
is used within some of those invocations.
