net/fping: Update to 4.2

Description

net/fping: Update to 4.2

While I'm here:

  • Move options block a bit further down according to the PHB

Changelog:

  • New option -x / --reachable to check if the number of reachable hosts is >= a certain number. Useful for example to implement connectivity-checks
  • Allow decimal numbers for '-t', '-i', '-p', and '-Q'
  • Fix build with --disable-ipv6
  • Fix hang with '-6', with ipv6 kernel module, but not loaded
  • Assume '-6' if the binary is named 'fping6' (this is mostly for special embedded-distro use cases, and not meant to be used generally in place of compiling IPv6-only binary or using '-6')
  • Get rid of warning "timeout (-t) value larger than period (-p) produces unexpected results"

Also remove patch-configure.ac that no longer applies because the build with
IPv6 support for FreeBSD has been fixed with 4.1.
