add patch to crontab

In my 24 years of using logcheck, this problem has only arisen a few times.

Sometimes, the log can grow very large. This happens when the host is heavily
loaded. Under those circumstances, logcheck does not complete before the next
crontab starts.

The attached patch introduces a /usr/bin/lockf call to avoid duplicate
concurrent instances of logcheck.

I've been running this within a dev instance of FreshPorts for about a week
now.

If this change seems to be generic, I hope it is helpful
