x11-wm/bvwm: Drop the Go 1.21 floor

Every Go toolchain in the tree is newer than 1.21, so the floor
selects the default either way. Leave the choice to go.mk.

x11-wm/bvwm: New port

BVWM is a fork of fvwm3: still a floating window manager, and now able
to work as a hybridized tiling manager.

Enhancements summarized below:

fvwm-tile is new to BVWM; helper making the hybrid possible: floating
windows, tiled windows, or a mix of the two. The fvwm- prefix is there
because it is fully backward compatible and can be lifted into fvwm.

ButtonStyle hover is a new config directive offering UX improvement.

TitleStyle ButtonWidth is a usability and accessibility improvement,
supporting non-square window decor buttons so the decor is tap-
friendly.

A bare Super key press opens a start menu.

With no DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, bvwm re-execs through
dbus-launch --exit-with-session.

picom and bhotkeys-start start when those programs are in PATH.

FvwmPrompt is built with the ports Go toolchain.

The port ships a self-contained tree and coinstalls with x11-wm/fvwm3.
Configs default to ~/.bvwm and .bvwmrc so stock fvwm3 configs stay
untouched.
