textproc/bsd-spell: fix some paths

The man page should use the same name as the executable (bspell).

Obey PREFIX.

While here fix minor portuadit and portfmt nits.

bsd-spell: Install as bspell instead of spell

Install bsd-spell as bspell instead of spell since it otherwise
conflicts with textproc/aspell-ispell.

While here switch to pkg-plist for the pkg content listing.

textproc/bsd-spell: A port of the 4.4BSD spell and derof commands

spell(1) collects words from the named documents and looks them up in a
spelling list. Words that neither occur among nor are derivable
(by applying certain inflections, prefixes or suffixes) from words in
the spelling list are printed on the standard output.

deroff(1) reads each file in sequence and removes all roff command lines,
backslash constructions, macro definitions, eqn constructs (between ".EQ"
and ".EN" lines or between delimiters), pic pictures, and table descriptions
and writes the remainder to the standard output.

spell(1) and deroff(1) did not appear in freely redistributable BSD
releases for licensing reasons. After Caldera relicensed early UNIX releases
the 4.4BSD version was added to NetBSD and OpenBSD.
