Log:
  Do not build lint(1) by default on stable-11, add WITH_LINT to enable
  building it.

  lint(1) is required on the host build system to build lint(1) libraries, and
  it is no longer available on FreeBSD 12. This prevents using a 12 or later
  host to build an 11 or earlier system, which causes problems for building
  jails and using poudriere. The problem could be fixed by treating lint as a
  bootstrap tool when building on 12+, but that just adds complexity and build
  time to build a broken tool that virtually nobody uses anymore.

  This is a direct commit to 11-stable because lint no longer exists in later
  branches.
