Preliminary patch

Taskd is a server/daemon and could use a rc.d script to start at boot.

After consulting with the maintainer, I have come up with a preliminary patch
to add a basic rc.d script, taskd, and it is attached to this PR.

Since taskd uses a self-signed X509 certificate authority, it requires
significant user configuration. As the rc.d script does not perfectly integrate
with upstream's configuration instructions, a pkg-message is provided to
instruct the user.

KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH PATCH:
1) Does not include modifications to ports/UIDs and ports/GIDs to add taskd
user and group. (I couldn't figure out how (new to svn))

2) portslint had concerns with paths in pkg-message, I don't know what to do.

3) I could not figure out how to improve permissions handling with the
unprivileged user (TASKDDATA directory and /var/log/taskd.log). This would be a
substantial improvement, but in lieu of it the pkg-message provides
instructions to modify the permissions.

4) There is a prexisting problem (CHMOD) that portslint has detected.

5) This is my first ever patch to anything, please review CAREFULLY.
