portindex.tcl: Generate the port index in a temporary file first,
then replace the PortIndex file all at once; fixes #16234
If this is the case cant we easily update the index more than twice
a day now? Perhaps even every half hour?
portindex is an annoyingly expensive operation. I don't know if the
added load on the macports servers would be worth it?
If someone gets around to implementing an incremental portindex
option (say we store the index in an sqlite database and we add a
post-commit hook that just updates the index entries for the ports
that were just committed) then we could probably have an always up-
to-date index without the huge resource requirements.
