rG259bb93b80c0: Remove ftpd(8)
rG614c8750ce11: Remove ftpd(8)

Summary

This was previously deprecated and is slated for removal in 15.0.
Users who still need ftpd(8) can install the ftp/freebsd-ftpd port.

Retain the ftp(d) PAM services since other FTP daemons use them.

Update /etc/inetd.conf to point to /usr/local.

Add ftpd to ObsoleteFiles, but do not list configuration files since
users may want to preserve these to use with the freebsd-ftpd port.

There is still some language in the manual referring to ftpd(8)
which is relevant to the port, which has been retained but updated
to reference the port.

MFC after: 3 days
Relnotes: yes

@ivy Are you planning on committing this today? I can do it if you'd prefer, but I'd like to have it in the tree ASAP so it gets 3 days for people to notice problems before MFC to stable/15 and 15.0-BETA1.

yes, i'll land this as soon as a test build finishes
