Remove iconv(), iconv_open() and iconv_close() symbols from libiconv.

These were FreeBSD specific aliases for libiconv(), libiconv_open() and
libiconv_close() that are now also provided by libc which complicates
writing configure tests that work correctly when both libc iconv and
libiconv are available.

Also, because the libiconv iconv.h header redefines iconv* to libiconv*
correct use of the header implies that the aliases aren't used.

The following ports needed fixes because there was something wrong with
the way they tried to detect or use iconv:

audio/deadbeef: Remove LIBICONV_PLUG from a source file.  It's a
compile-time option and should not be set in source code.
comms/hidapi: Use standard AM_ICONV configure macro to look for iconv.
deskutils/fbreader: Let ports framework deal with LIBICONV_PLUG.
deskutils/ljclive: Override configure test for iconv.
deskutils/owncloudclient: Add USES=iconv and patch test for iconv.
devel/aegis: Bump PORTREVISION because it no longer uses libiconv.
devel/libexplain: Add USES=iconv and override test for iconv.
devel/sdl20: Override configure test for iconv.
emulators/vmw: Replace OSVERSION checks with ICONV_LIB checks and include
<iconv.h> instead of <sys/iconv.h>.
irc/scrollz: Override configure test for iconv.
japanese/chasen-base: Override configure test for iconv and patch
configure so it no longer adds -liconv to linker flags just because it
happens to be installed.
japanses/eb: Patch configure test for iconv.
japanses/eblook: Override configure test for iconv.
java/jikes: Override configure test for iconv.
multimedia/transcode: Bump PORTREVISION because only one plugin links with
libiconv now.
net/c3270: Override configure test for iconv.
net/samba4*: Bump PORTREVISION because it no longer uses libiconv.  The
configure script will always add -liconv to the linker flags when it
happens to be installed which would be wrong but later on binaries are
linked with -Wl,--as-needed and the linker discards -liconv because it
finds iconv*() functions in libc now and no longer in libiconv.
net-mgmt/icinga-*: Remove dependency on iconv.
net-mgmt/netxms: Patch configure so it no longer adds -liconv to linker
flags just because it happens to be installed.
net/asterisk11: Patch configure so it no longer adds -liconv to linker
flags just because it happens to be installed.
net-p2p/transmission-*: Override configure test for iconv.
www/htmlcxx: Override configure test for iconv.

converters/libiconv: - Remove const qualifier from iconv(3) to match POSIX:   http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/iconv.html - Patch iconv.h to expose more GNU extensions when LIBICONV_PLUG is   defined because the base system iconv supports these extensions too.

Add/remove patches to/from ports to call iconv with non-const arguments.

This breaks some ports on FreeBSD 10 because base system iconv.h still has
the const qualifier.  Fix this by letting USES=iconv add a build dependency
on converters/libiconv so ports can use its iconv.h (with LIBICONV_PLUG
defined) instead of the base system iconv.h.

This exposed some ports that link with libiconv when it is available instead
of using libc iconv.  In these cases one of the following changes has been
made:
- patch configure scripts to test for libc iconv first
- add ac_cv_lib_iconv_libiconv=no or similar to CONFIGURE_ARGS to disable
  some configure tests
- converters/wkhtmltopdf: this includes Qt4 so add a patch from devel/qt4
- lang/gcc5-aux: respect CFLAGS and friends during configure such that
  LIBICONV_PLUG is defined in the iconv test, also switch to external
  gettext
- mail/gnarwl: replace patches with CPPFLAGS/LIBS
- multimedia/ffmpeg2theora: remove iconv test from SConstruct and use
  ICONV_LIB in port Makefile instead, also fix a bug in subtitles.c
- net-im/licq: finish conversion to cmake
- net-mgmt/bandwidthd, net-mgmt/icinga, net-mgmt/nagios, net-mgmt/nagios4:
  don't need iconv
- textproc/p5-XML-TinyXML: finish conversion to USES=perl5

Other changes:
- databases/qdbm and slaves: respect CFLAGS and friends, also enable bzip2
  and lzo support
- games/ldmud: respect CFLAGS and friends
- graphics/inventor: replace some patches with MAKE_ARGS/MAKE_ENV to respect
  CFLAGS and friends, also remove FreeBSD/alpha patch and add missing xorg
  dependencies

Support LIBS like LDFLAGS.

- Add LIBS="${LIBS}" to MAKE_ENV and CONFIGURE_ENV.
- Add an option helper for LIBS.
- Adjust all ports that already use LIBS.  Also remove references to
  PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS while here.
- Some ports did not support having a LIBS environment variable and
  required additional patches.

Somewhat simplified a linker command line looks like:

${CC} ${src_LDFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} ${src_LIBS} ${LIBS}

where src_LDFLAGS and src_LIBS are controlled by upstream and LDFLAGS and
LIBS can be controlled by us.  If possible -L and -l flags need to be
added to LIBS to make sure they appear after any -L and -l flags set by
upstream.  Many ports currently add -L${LOCALBASE}/lib to LDFLAGS but this
may appear too early on the command line causing installed libraries to
be linked in instead of freshly built ones.

Additional changes:
benchmarks/netio: Replace WITH_IPV6 with an IPV6 option.
comms/gnokii: Replace some patches with USES=pathfix.  Also remove -fPIC.
graphics/gimageview: USES=libtool and install desktop file in DESKTOPDIR.
graphics/visionworkbench: Remove FreeBSD 7 support.
multimedia/libmovtar: New LIB_DEPENDS syntax.
multimedia/opencinematools: Use standard do-build.
net/siproxd: USES=libtool:keepla (port actually needs .la files for plugins)
net-mgmt/nagios: Remove -fPIC.
net-mgmt/nagios4: Remove -fPIC.
print/cups-base: Only add -lssp_nonshared on i386 and OSVERSION < 1000036.
security/p11-kit: Replace PTHREAD_LIBS in CONFIGURE_ENV with
ac_cv_func_pthread_mutexattr_init=no in CONFIGURE_ARGS.  This skips a test
in configure that falsely detects pthread_mutexattr_init in our libc.
sysutils/dar: Fix iconv detection.
x11/rxvt-unicode: Remove -lstdc++ and patch configure to remove a FreeBSD
hack and use $CXX as linker as on other platforms.

Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script. Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.

To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.

To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.

Changes to Mk/*:
 - Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk
 - Remove CONFIGURE_TARGET hack in various bsd.*.mk
 - USE_GNOME=gnometarget is now an no-op

Changes to individual ports, other than removing the CONFIGURE_TARGET hack:

= pkg-plist changed (due to the ugly CONFIGURE_TARGET prefix in * executables)
  - comms/gnuradio
  - science/abinit
  - science/elmer-fem
  - science/elmer-matc
  - science/elmer-meshgen2d
  - science/elmerfront
  - science/elmerpost

= use x86_64 as ARCH
  - devel/g-wrap

= other changes
  - print/magicfilter
    GNU_CONFIGURE -> HAS_CONFIGURE since it's not generated by autoconf
