package: Update description for sendmail and dma
Provide a more useful package description for sendmail and dma,
so users have some idea what they're actually for. For sendmail,
follow upstream's convention of spelling the product name in lower
case.
While here, use the upstream text to describe libmilter.

-DMA Mail Agent Utilities
+The DragonFly Mail Agent (dma) is a lightweight mail transport agent intended
+for home and office use. dma can accept mail from local users and deliver it
+either locally or remotely (via SMTP). dma can be configured to route remote
+mail via an SMTP smart host, optionally using STARTTLS and/or authentication.
+
+dma does not implement an SMTP server and cannot receive mail from remote
+systems, nor act as a mail exchanger for other hosts. If an SMTP server
+is required, or when more advanced mail routing is needed, consider using
+the $PKG_NAME_PREFIX-sendmail package instead.

-Sendmail Utilities
+The sendmail mail transport agent allows the system to send and receive mail
+for both local and remote users. sendmail can also act as a mail exchanger
+for other hosts, and has a flexible configuration format that can be used to
+rewrite, filter or otherwise process mail before delivering it.
+
+sendmail supports multiple mail transport protocols, including Internet SMTP,
+LMTP, UUCP and DECnet. Support for protocols other than SMTP and LMTP needs
+third-party software not shipped with the base system.
+
+When the full functionality of sendmail is not required, consider using the
+$PKG_NAME_PREFIX-dma package instead, a lightweight MTA which can send (but
+not receive) mail over SMTP.
