Remove ftpd(8)

Description

Remove ftpd(8)

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.
