update to sysutils/rsyslog8 port

Update to 8.12.0

  - Remove most of the required patches as the code has been incorporated
    upstream
  - Set MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE as there's a race condition that breaks compilation
    otherwise
  - Patch configure.ac so it can detect pthread_setschedparam(3) correctly --
    function needs -lpthread on FreeBSD.
  - Add a new INOTIFY option, but mark it BROKEN for now.

The new (optional) support for 'notify' mode in the imfile module provided by
linking against devel/libinotify will compile perfectly and the resulting
binary runs happily.  Unfortunately the 'notify' mode does not notice any
changes to the monitored file, *unless* rsyslogd is started with the '-n' (no
auto-background) flag.  Which makes it pretty useless, especially since it is
so frustratingly close to working correctly.

The INOTIFY option works because rsyslog8's configure mechanism is broken with
respect to testing for inotify_init() functionality where that function is not
in libc. (Ref: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202862)
Enabling the option adds a fix to configure.ac so it can properly detect
inotify_init() in libinotify.so, but this would compile in inotify support
unconditionally if that library happens to be present on the system.

This update should also fix
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202932 -- that patch has
apparently been included upstream.
