New port

Hi,

Here is a port of most of Pale Moon code with unofficial branding.

This port depends on the new Tauthon port I submitted here: bug #251019

Even when this dependency is imported, please *do not import the patch yet*.
I'm in the process of liaising with upstream in order to verify that there is
no branding or redistribution problems with the submitted port. I'll post a
comment giving the go when the process finishes (the patch may need to be
modified before reaching this point).

Small description: "Open-source web browser mostly using Pale Moon(TM) code"

The build needs some specific versions of GCC (executables crash with base
clang on 12). GCC 9 was chosen since it is our current default and is (almost)
officially endorsed upstream (and stability seems perfect so far). So USE_GCC
is set, but then LDFLAGS and CXXFLAGS are appended to in order that g++ links
to (base) libc++ (static link against libgcc.a). This is necessary since
linking against libstdc++ while one of the dependencies is linked to libc++
causes a crash for this codebase. Also, gcc is removed from RUN_DEPENDS. See
the comments in the Makefile (see also bug #211154).

Apart from jemalloc, all bundled libraries are used in preference to our
versions in the ports tree. This is by design, and not bad by principle, and
personally I won't dispute this precise case. See
https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23706 for upstream's rationale.

So please wait until I confirm that the patch is final before importing into
the tree. (And, obviously, please advise if you think the current Makefile is
doing things wrong.)

Regards.
