New 2018Q1 branch

[René Ladan]

Hi,

The 2018Q1 branch has been created. It means that the next update on the
quarterly packages will be on the 2018Q1 branch.

A lot of things happened in the last three months:
- pkg 1.10.3_1
- New USES: (none)
- Removed USES: fmake
- New keywords: (none)
- Removed keywords: (none)
- Default version of Ruby switched to 2.4
- Default version of Samba switched to 4.6
- Default version for Fortran added as gfortran
- Firefox 57.0.3
- Firefox-esr 52.5.3

The 2018Q1 branch is the first branch with flavor support. Currently Python
ports and some other ports are flavored. For now, converting a port to
flavors
required approval from portmgr.

Next quarterly package builds will start on Tueday January 2 at 01:01
UTC and
should be available on your closest mirrors few days later.
