Mark port broken during update of FFmpeg 6.0
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=270206

...a bit of an update:
I apologize about the flood of mails, I'm working on this on spare (free) time
so it's a bit sporadic and I prefer to push things as soon as possible rather
that letting notes sit for days. 

Anyhow, I'd suggest that we're going to be a bit more aggressive on this update
otherwise we'll still be stuck with 4.4 until infinity. By that I mean we'll
likely going to mark some packages as broken and/or need to create a separate
port for FFmpeg 4.X. This will however conflict with any other version of
FFmpeg so its really a "no other way" solution and needs to be justified with
good reasoning more than port X is broken.

As for timeline I'd suggest that we commit 6.0 somewhere around 1 week efter q2
branching unless there major issues discovered.

I'll try to get around during the weekend creating the last batch of PRs ports
being reported as broken namely a few listed here:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=261302#c47

Due to limited resources and time it would very helpful if people could look
though PRs and do runtime testing. I would also be nice if you could test
patches with FFmpeg 4 (current version in tree, I've only done testing with
6.0) and see if we can merge these before landing 6.0.

Best regards,
Daniel
