diff against the ports tree

Base has had C.UTF-8 since 2018 and switched to it in base 09ef995baf45.
Switching the ports tree to it should largely be a NOP, with exception to one
scenario: building in poudriere under qemu-user-static with native-xtools.

native-xtools will use statically linked tar(1) for the host, so it can't use
dlopen() -- preventing it from being able to use, e.g., iconv. Switching to
C.UTF-8 fixes statically linked tar's ability to extract when paths contain
UTF-8 chars.
