CVS commit: pkgsrc/bootstrap



Module Name:    pkgsrc

Log Message:
bootstrap/README: Slice platforms more finely

Separate active use, maintained, and published bulk builds.  This
amounts to a new users/maintained-but-no-bulk section for FreeBSD.

Sort OpenBSD into "platforms with active use" based on list comments.

Drop mention of Darwin, as I can find on evidence that Darwin
continues to exist outside of macOS in any meaningful way.
