patch: add new port dns/balancer

The patch attached to this pr(1) adds a new port:
dns/balancer. It replaces a port that went unmaintained
upstream. I have adopted the code and posted my work on
Codeberg, and will continue to maintain it both there and
here as a port.

Short description:
Differential DNS server / Dynamic load-balancing DNS server

Long description:
DNS Balancer is a Differential DNS server / load-balancing DNS server that:

o Performs dynamic load balancing
o Makes the best answer based on resolution the client's IP address
o Implements "A" record lookups only -- which is best for security

This (FreeBSD) version differs from original in the following ways:
o It works as a daemon
o Has ability to write messages to a logfile
o Can save it's PID

P.S. I haven't added a new port since it was done with shar(1).

I used the instructions within the porters handbook. Which ultimately
failed with Fatal at: git format-patch origin/main
So I am presenting a git diff (patch).

Thanks! :)
