Log message:
Add support for "alpha" suffixes in package versions
We already supported "beta" releases but not "alpha", probably to
discourage people from pushing "alpha-quality" software in the ports
tree.
We have 30 ports with distfiles matching "alpha", and people just work
around the lack of explicit support for "alpha" releases with mixes of
crafted PKGNAME and REVISION/EPOCH. This looks needlessly complicated
and a bit unfair when compared to GH_COMMIT support.
