v1 of purge patch

per
https://www.freebsd.org/status/report-2021-07-2021-09/#_freebsd_erlang_ecosystem_ports_update
the vast majority
of users install libraries in the erlang ecosystem via
custom mix & rebar3 build tools, which we have in ports.

There is no point in carrying large numbers of trophy
ports which are unmaintained, and un-used by the wider
community.

a git branch is maintained
https://git.sr.ht/~dch/ports/log/purge-stale-erlang-ports for easy fetching and
reviewing.

Ports for purging, and a diff, as attachments.
