graphics/php*-gd requires X11 by default

[Greg Kennedy]

I'm raising this again as the last time I tried to check with the port
maintainer, he had not made the change, and wasn't available to do so.

Can someone change the default config for graphics/php72-gd from X11=on to
X11=off?

It will save a large number of dependencies on X11, at the cost of not
supporting this (very rarely used) image format.
