Patch to mail/postfix/files/pkg-install.in adding the "-t 0" test to the ask()
function

I'm having some trouble automating the deployment of Postfix on FreeBSD, and it
comes down to the mailer.conf activation prompt in the pkg-install script.  The
behavior I want is for pkg-install to check whether standard input is open and
connected to a terminal, a la the "-t 0" argument to /bin/test.  If standard
input is not connected to a terminal, then the "ask()" function in the script
should return the default value.  This makes it possible to install Postfix
non-interactively.  The attached patch implements this behavior, and I've
tested both cases, when stdin is a terminal and when it is not.
