Patch to use eval for computed variable assignments

The shell function security_daily_compat_var in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf
attempts to set the var and periodvar using incorrect shell syntax in the yes
case, resulting in errors like

/etc/periodic/security/550.ipfwlimit: security_status_ipfwlimit_enable=YES: not
found
/etc/periodic/security/550.ipfwlimit: security_status_ipfwlimit_period=daily:
not found

It needs to use eval like in the other case.

I found this in 10.1-RELEASE but it looks like same in HEAD.
