net/dual-dhclient: Mark as deprecated

Users should switch to the net/dual-dhclient-daemon port, which I
added in October 2019; it serves the same purpose of launching two
dhclient daemons, but has the advantage of also relaying signals
(necessary for e.g. making "restart" work).

Add "dual dhclient" script, which can be specified as dhclient_program in rc.conf in order to launch the base system dhclient for IPv4 and the ISC dhcp client for IPv6.

I'm not sure if this will be useful to anyone else, but adding this trivial
port will simplify the configuration of IPv6 on Amazon EC2 instances.  I
hope this port becomes redundant in the future due to the base system
gaining support for IPv6 DHCP.
