net/rsync includes a Python script, installed as sbin/rrsync. It does not,
however, declare a dependency on Python; pkg-message advises that Python might
be needed. I was just bitten by this when upgrading some systems to Python 3.12
left the script with the old shebang line.

This patch adds a port option, PYTHON, that controls whether rrsync is
installed and adds the necessary dependency.

pkg-message vaguely referred to "some scripts provided by rsync" that require
Python, but I'm only aware of the one. I chickened out in PYTHON_DESC anyway.

The option is off by default (updating the package will remove rrsync) because
removing a script that may not have worked is less intrusive than installing
Python that may not have been there.
