Log:
  security/ca_root_nss: Fix SSL verification for ports OpenSSL consumers

  Since 2.7.9, Python verifies SSL certificates by default. Currently,
  even with security/ca_root_nss installed, Python fails certificate
  verification.

  Upon investigation, Python uses OpenSSL's standard
  SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations function to load a list of CA root
  certificates.

  Support was added to ca_root_nss for "out of the box" certificate
  verification for a number of base utilities in r372629 [1], but this
  did not include support for software that uses OpenSSL's
  SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations function.

  [1] https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/372629

  OpenSSL defaults (at compile time) to the following paths and filenames
  for certificate and CAFile lookup:

  Base:
    SSL_CERT_DIR=/etc/ssl/certs
    SSL_CERT_FILE/etc/ssl/cert.pem

  Ports:
    SSL_CERT_DIR=/usr/local/openssl/certs
    SSL_CERT_FILE=/usr/local/openssl/cert.pem

  This change installs a symlink which points to the root certificate
  bundle in the location that OpenSSL from ports looks for them.

  This allows any and all software utilising SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations
  function to verify SSL certificates by default after installation of
  this package.

  Additionally, display a pkg-message to the user about the lack of
  warranty associated with these certificates.

  Note: This is *NOT* related to solving for SSL certificate verification
  for OpenSSL in Base, which is covered in bug 189811.

  While I'm here:

  - Add LICENSE
  - Use options helpers and OPTIONS_SUB
  - Fix typo in !!! message !!!
