Description

security/py-{acme,certbot}: Make argparse a conditional dependency

Backport an upstream patch [1][2] to setup.py making argparse a conditional
dependency. Without this change, the following error is observed at run-time:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'argparse' distribution was not found and is required by certbot

This is due to the separate argparse distribution (via PyPI) no longer being
required for Python versions >= 2.7 and >= 3.2, as they contain the argparse
module in the standard library.

Since FreeBSD only supports Python versions with the argparse module built in,
*and* having removed the devel/py-argparse port, the install_requires=argparse
dependency cannot be satisfied, as install_requires is only relevant for non
standard library (PyPI) packages/dependencies.
