I think these options can be used globally and also per port. These options
are just on by default via bsd.options.mk. Users should be able to turn
them off through options dialog while building/installing specific port. I
think it has higher possibility that one user wants to install
documentation/examples of *some ports but not all ports*. As a result, we
should keep those options. At least we shall not always hide them.

If maintainers think these options are annoying, they could put them to the
end of OPTIONS_DEFINE.
