Switch default version of PHP from 7.2 to 7.4.

7.2 does not receive any bugfixes anymore. Also the security fixes will
end at 2020-11-30.
Since PHP 7.3 will only receive bugfixes for the next 2 month, we
switch directly to 7.4

+  The default version of PHP has been switched from 7.2 to 7.4.
+
+  If you use binary packages you should make a list of php packages
+  before running 'pkg upgrade':
+
+  # pkg info php7\* > ~/installed-php-ports-list
+
+  After the upgrade, check with such list if all your php extensions
+  are still installed, and reinstall them if needed.
+
+  If you use mod_php72 you need to deinstall it and install mod_php74.
