Bug 219125: java/openjdk8: Make ALSA dependency optional
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=219125



--- Description ---
Hi,

would it be possible to make the ALSA dependency optional?  I know it
disables sound support in the JDK, but I have never used it before and
likely never will.  Openjdk8 is the only one of my installed ports left
that has an alsa-lib dependency.

The attached patch adds a new default option ALSA to the port, which
users can turn off if they choose to.

Poudriere test builds on FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE/amd64 are ok with either
ALSA=on or ALSA=off.
