rP486773: Speed up devel/gdb startup on FreeBSD
Summary

On non-Linux systems that do not have fdwalk(), gdb currently iterates over all possible file descriptors when checking for open files.
Fix this by adding a FreeBSD implementation using kinfo_getfile().

Fixes extremely long startup times on ppc64.

I've merged a similar change upstream to gdb in commit 93579f6f90. We can pull that into the port as a commit-<foo> patch.

  • Use patch from upstream commit.
  • Bump PORTREVISION.

This section of the patch fails, because the ChangeLog in the release is missing the latest changes.
I'd remove the Changelog diff from the patch
