profiles: unmask split pulseaudio packages This is a move towards making it easier for users to choose between pulseaudio and pipewire for their audio needs. We now have: - media-sound/pulseaudio (a transitory metapackage, installs no files, just enforces deps with USE flags); - media-libs/libpulse (the pulseaudio libraries, needed by clients using pulseaudio's protocol to speak to pipewire, but is not the pulseaudio daemon) - media-sound/pulseaudio-daemon (the pulseaudio daemon, to be used instead of pipewire if desired) While these are technically RC/pre-releases (and I have a strong reluctance against keywording those usually), we have a good relationship with upstream who report they've been quiet developmentwise since these tags, these versions have been tested & work well, and this will help to improve the experience for Gentoo users in choosing which audio server they want. So, all in all, a win.
