Patch for Python-3.11

While updating my nanoBSD system, I noticed the installation of packages failed
due to
"pkg: Missing shlib libgdbm_compat.so.4 required by python311".

On checking, `pkg info -d python311` already lists libgdbm_compat.so (and
hence, gdbm) as a dependency. Adding libgdbm_compat.so to LIB_DEPENDS fixes the
error above.

This also seems to be the case for python310.
