rGf4fd2aa07cde: libutil++: Move to clibs

Summary

This library only installs manual pages, so putting it in its own
package means we build a FreeBSD-libutil++-man package but not a
base FreeBSD-libutil++ package. Without a base package, the man
package can't be installed due to the missing dependency.

We don't really need a separate package for a few manpages, so move
it to clibs.

Not sure if clibs is the best package for this, maybe it fits better in runtime (which have libutil.so and the man in the -man) ?

it's a bit of an odd package since there's no reason to install it at all unless you're hacking on src, and i'm not sure we have any precedent for that. does it make sense to have a FreeBSD-src-man package? there are a few more things that we could perhaps move there, like src.conf(5). however, we'd need to make it not depend on FreeBSD-src.

I guess it might make sense if there is more than two manpages in it :)

I would probably place it beside libutil. It is true it is an INTERNALLIB, so it only has a static library (for the freebsd::stringf implementation) and not a shared library.

i'm really not sure runtime is the right place for this. libutil is only there because other things depend on it, but nothing can depend on libutil++ because it doesn't install anything (except manpages). but after thinking about it, clibs isn't the right place either, since it's not part of a C(++) runtime.

perhaps we should just dump it in -utilities like other miscellaneous libraries which don't have their own package?
