Anonymize syncthing builder.

syncthing reports a long version string that, by default, includes details of
the user that built the package and the hostname it was built on.  (This can be
seen by previewing the "Anonymous Usage Reporting" under General Settings). 
Since (eg) "peter at server.rulingia.com" is not very anonymous, it would nice if
the port changed this to a suitably general identifier.  Luckily, the code
allows the default value to be overridden via environment variables (see
buildUser() and buildHost() in syncthing/build.go).

Looking through the "Version 3" usage reporting data, there doesn't appear to
be any other data of concern reported.

Looking at the "Builder" strings reported via https://data.syncthing.net/,
changing the defaults seems fairly common.

The attached patch changes the identification string to "ports at freebsd".
