I've just added a quirks mechanism to handle deleted ports, so that users
get an idea about what's going on.

This complements the usual @conflict/@pkgpath/quirks strategies for ports
that have been replaced by/subsumed into something else.

I hope that people who gc old ports will remember to fill the new quirk.

(yes, even if there's a flag day between releases, as the quirk 
mechanism will happily work  for 
pkg_info -m  >list / pkg_delete * / pkg_add -zl list scenarios)


As a result, quirks is now pulled in  even for "normal" installs, instead
of just updates/replaces...
