rP437119: New port: sysutils/solaar

Summary

Solaar is a device manager for Logitech's Unifying Receiver.  It is
able to pair/unpair devices to the receiver, and for most devices read
battery status.

It comes in two flavors, command-line and GUI.  Both are able to list
the devices paired to a Unifying Receiver, show detailed info for each
device, and also pair/unpair supported devices with the receiver.

sysutils/solaar/Makefile
13 ↗	(On Diff #26710)	Should this be a LIB_DEPENDS or is this ok? Solaar loads `libhidapi.so` via ctypes (dlopen).

sysutils/solaar/Makefile
13 ↗	(On Diff #26710)	If it is not needed at build-time, then RUN_DEPENDS is ok. Also LIB_DEPENDS may have a special treatment (I'm not sure it does) as in it may only be registered if pkg finds the .so in the elf files. Also, add a comment before the RUN_DEPENDS line saying that it is only loaded at runtime, so that someone does not change it later on.
21 ↗	(On Diff #26710)	I was about to ask why you did not use the latest release tag (but it's 4 years old) so I'm going to say something else, when you find a github probject that stopped tagging releases, it may be nice to open an issue there asking gently for them to do so :-)
25–27 ↗	(On Diff #26710)	Add a GUI option that installs it ?
sysutils/solaar/files/patch-setup.py
12 ↗	(On Diff #26710)	This is probably wrong, 0.9.2 is from 2013.

Add GUI option, and comments about releases and RUN_DEPENDS

sysutils/solaar/files/patch-setup.py
12 ↗	(On Diff #26710)	Yes, but that is what's defined in `lib/solaar/__init__py`. The import here fails for some reason and I decided to just define `NAME` and `__version__` myself with the original values. 0.9.2 appears to be hardcoded in several other places, too.
