devel/libks: add new port

[hayzam_gmail.com]

Summary

Add a new devel/libks port for SignalWire's libks support library.

libks provides common C utility code used by SignalWire and related projects, including platform abstraction, threading, networking, JSON, UUID, TLS, logging, buffers, and general helper routines.

The upstream repository is named libks, but the installed ABI and package metadata use the libks2 name. Upstream installs libks2.so, libks2 pkg-config metadata, CMake config files, headers under include/libks2, and documentation under share/doc/libks2.

This includes local FreeBSD compatibility patches for platform detection, UUID headers, and thread ID handling.

This mostly looks good, but a few issues need to be addressed:

• You are missing an entry in devel/Makfile.
• The code uses uuid_generate_random() and uuid_unparse(), which are supplied by the API provided by misc/libuuid. The base system's <uuid.h> doesn't have those functions. This means you should remove files/patch-src_include_libks_ks__types.h and files/patch-src_ks__json__check.c. The build failure after you remove those patches is fixed by adding localbase to USES.

You can remove this.

Non-blocking nit: portclippy/portfmt suggests this belongs above DOCSDIR.

• Added libks to devel/Makefile

• Remove UUID workaround patches; add localbase to USES based on @jrm's feedback

Looks good. I'll commit with some minor tweaks to the commit message to comply with the guidelines in the Committer's Guide, and to remove mention of the patches for the UUID includes. BTW, if you're not already using it, there is a commit template you can use by doing git config --add core.hooksPath .hooks. Look good to you?
