math/eigen3: massage OPTIONs
Existing OPTIONs pull in too many dependencies -- Eigen is a template library and doesn't **need** any of the libs -- and are overly-specific, like requiring a particular BLAS implementation. PR: 257321 251842 Reported by: alt2600@icloud.com

+ AFFECTS: consumers of math/eigen[23]
+ AUTHOR: adridg@FreeBSD.org
+
+ math/eigen2 has been marked deprecated. There do not seem to be any
+ consumers in FreeBSD ports.
+
+ math/eigen3 has had its options re-vamped. The default options previously
+ pulled in multiple useless library dependencies. The options also forced
+ a specific BLAS implementation. The new options depend only on the
+ default BLAS (whatever USES=blaslapack picks), but this can be turned
+ off. The previous multiple useless libraries -- which are not useless
+ when running the tests in Eigen -- are now hidden behind the default-off
+ TEST option.
+
+ Users of a carefully-tuned Eigen build should re-evaluate the options
+ available.
