mktool 1.3.0 now available

[Jonathan Perkin <jperkin%mnx.io@localhost>]

Hi!

Quick update on mktool progress.  I just committed v1.3.0 to pkgsrc, 
this includes a new check-portability command to replace the shell/awk 
versions of the same name.  Here's a quick summary of all the 
replacements implemented so far, along with real-world benchmark 
improvements seen during testing.

 * check-portability (30x faster)
 * check-shlibs (30x faster)
 * checksum (5x faster)
 * ctfconvert (8x faster)
 * distinfo (100x faster)
 * fetch (500x faster)
 * wrapper (11x faster)

A side benefit is that pkgtools/digest and pkgtools/mktools are no 
longer dependencies of most packages, and this can have a reasonable
impact on performance in bulk builds.

I've updated the dev/mktool branch to be rebased against the state of 
the tree as of 2024Q3.  Note that you will also need to now set:

  FETCH_USING=mktool

in your mk.conf to use the mktool fetch replacement, as I wanted to 
ensure that users could use both mktool as well as a custom fetch
implementation if they had to for any reason.

As always, please let me know if you run into any issues with this 
whatsoever so that I can resolve them ASAP.  The only feature that I am 
currently aware of that is missing in the replacements is support for
CHECK_PORTABILITY_EXPERIMENTAL=yes, but I am not aware of anyone using 
this, and remain to be convinced that it's worth adding.

Cheers,
