Affected files

Heimdal in base (1.5.2) is 12+ years old. It has problems with OpenSSL 3.x.
Applications crash at runtime, e.g., bind's nsupdate recently and newly
msktutil, kt5start
(https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/ldap-issues-on-freebsd-14-0.91345/) and
likely other Kerberos-enabled applications.
I think it is about time to remove Heimdal base support from ports and force
ports either to link to security/heimdal or security/krb5 or none at all.
