Berkeley DB cleanup, remove versions 4.0 ... 4.7.

- Mk/bsd.database.mk rewrite, new default to db5.
- db6 is eligible by default only if installed on the system.
- Bump PORTREVISION of all ports that directly depend on BerkeleyDB or
  where USE_BDB is found in the port's directory
- Patch a few ports such that they will pick up or work with newer
  versions.
- Add UPDATING entry
- Drive-by format fix for pks
- Drop BerkeleyDB option from mail/popular for now, requires more work.
- Exp-run logs linked from the PR below.
- Ports that do not build (IGNORE, BROKEN, etc.) have pro-forma changes
  for new Berkeley DB, but are untested.

NOTE: please read UPDATING and the Wiki page before proceeding!

+  HEADS UP: for some applications that store their data in Berkeley DB
+  databases, you may have to export the data before the upgrade and
+  reload it afterwards.  Detailed instructions are at
+  <https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/BerkeleyDBCleanup>.
+
+  The older databases/db4* ports providing versions 4.0 to 4.7
+  inclusively have been removed, and 4.8 has been deprecated.
+  The default Berkeley DB version is now 5.3.
+  (6.x has a different license, but will be eligible as default on
+  systems that build ports from source and have db6 installed.)
+    All enabled and working ports have been changed such that they use
+  Berkeley DB 4.8 or newer, and an -exp run has been made.
+
+  After you have performed the first steps from the Wiki documentation,
+  and have arrived at a step that reads "build all applications", then
+  type as privileged user and without the hash sign:
+
+  # Tools/scripts/BDB-upgrade-helper.sh
+
+  The helper script requires that ports-mgmt/portmaster or
+  .../portupgrade is installed, will try to upgrade your applications
+  with either of these tools (portmaster preferred), and if that succeeds,
+  it will attempt to delete the packages if confirmed interactively.
