ham/tfkiss: Update to 1.3.2

Upstream is now a maintained fork at https://github.com/kq6up/tfkiss.
The original site is gone and there had been no release since 1.2.4
in 2000.

Upstream changes since 1.2.4:

  - 64-bit correctness.  Fixed pointer truncation in call_to_ip() and
    next_addr(), an incorrect socklen_t definition, inet_addr()
    comparisons against -1 rather than INADDR_NONE, incorrect signal
    handler signatures, an argument order bug in dump_ax25frame(), and
    a missing return after a full routing table that permitted an
    out-of-bounds write.  Fixed an MBHEAD/MB struct size mismatch that
    broke the firmware's buffer allocator on LP64 systems.

  - All K&R function definitions converted to ANSI C prototypes.
    Deprecated bzero() replaced with memset().  Unbounded string
    operations replaced with bounded equivalents.

  - Build system replaced with current autoconf and automake, so the
    package builds with contemporary toolchains including GCC 14.
    Installation paths now follow FHS conventions: documentation is
    installed under DOCDIR rather than share/tfkiss/doc.

  - XPID, FlexNet and AXIP are enabled by default, so CONFIGURE_ARGS
    are no longer required for a full featured build.

  - Example configuration files rewritten to be minimal, with NOCALL
    as the placeholder callsign.

  - DragonFly BSD support and DESTDIR install support, previously
    carried as pkgsrc patches, are incorporated upstream.  All five
    patches are therefore removed from this package.

  - Added LICENSE-NOTES documenting the copyright status of the work.
    TheFirmware is Copyright NORD><LINK e.V. and distributed under
    ALAS, which permits non-commercial use, modification and
    redistribution.  The accompanying notice additionally asks that
    modified versions be distributed only with the consent of
    NORD><LINK, which can no longer be obtained: the association
    appears to be dissolved and the author of the Unix port is
    deceased.  LICENSE is set to generic-nonlicense with RESTRICTED,
    following ham/7plus.

Packaging changes:

  - MESSAGE removed.
  - LICENSE and MAINTAINER set.
  - MASTER_SITES points at the upstream release tarball, which is a
    genuine autotools distribution and requires no autotools to build.
  - PLIST regenerated from a staged installation.
  - DESCR rewritten.

Built and tested on NetBSD 10/arm64, Debian 13/amd64 and
Slackware 15/x86_64.  Verified interoperating with ham/tnt and
ham/dpbox, and with a BPQ32 node over AXIP/UDP.

-TNT, the hostmode terminal program needs a TNC with TheFirmware connected
-on a serial interface. There are some applications, where other
-configurations are needed:
-- The TNC or PR-controller software is not compatible to TheFirmware and
-  its hostmode, but does support KISS mode
-- The interface is not on a HF-frequency, but a TCP/IP-based network
-  (local net or internet)
-- TNT together with DPBox shall be used directly connected to a digipeater
-  using KISS mode (hopefully with CRC) as interface
+tfkiss is a software implementation of TheFirmware, the AX.25 packet
+radio firmware written by NORD><LINK for TNC2 hardware.  It presents
+the TheFirmware hostmode interface to client software while using an
+ordinary KISS device for the radio link, so a plain KISS TNC or a
+software modem such as Direwolf can be used in place of a TNC2 running
+TheFirmware in ROM.
 
-To handle these applications, TFKISS was written. It is in fact a port
-of the original TheFirmware by NORD><LINK, written for TNC2-hardware.
-The low level interfaces were changed and adapted to Linux. On the
-radio side a KISS- and an AXIP-interface take the place of the HDLC/modem
-interface. The host connection is changed to a direct console interface (for
-terminal mode) and a socket interface (for TNT).
+It implements AX.25 layer 2 with DAMA support, and optionally FlexNet
+node frame decoding, PID switching, and AX.25 encapsulation in IP or
+UDP datagrams (AXIP).  Up to 50 channels are supported.
+
+tfkiss is normally paired with the tnt terminal program or the dpbox
+mailbox, either of which connects to it over a local socket.  Because
+the AX.25 layer 2 implementation lives in tfkiss rather than in the
+kernel, these programs can be used on systems that have no kernel
+AX.25 stack.
+
+This is a maintained fork of the port by Berndt Josef Wulf, VK5ABN.
+It adds 64-bit correctness fixes, brings the sources to ANSI C, and
+replaces the original build system with autoconf and automake.
