Add upstream fix to "files/patch-lib_Smokeping.pm"

Hello,

I continue to migrate my services from Debian to FreeBSD.
On Debian, I have smokeping 2.6.9 and it works well.
On FreeBSD, I have smokeping 2.7.3 with the same configuration (nothing fancy),
but I am having a problem: whenever a host is down, smokeping keeps sending
alerts by email.

It firsts send an email with this subjct: "[SmokeAlert] hostdown was raised
on..." then every five minutes, it sends 
indefinitely this emails: "[SmokeAlert] hostdown was cleared on..."

I've finally found it was a bug which was fixed upstream here:
https://github.com/oetiker/SmokePing/commit/e9004e8bbeb30d33778afaf70a5f8b95ff38d6ba

Here is the bug report for the smokeping project:
https://github.com/oetiker/SmokePing/issues/183

and two others for Debian and Ubuntu:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=934170
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/smokeping/+bug/1886584


I don't know why smokeping keeps being developed but there are no more releases
after 2.7.3, which is from 2018... :-/


On FreeBSD, we already have patches in "files/patch-lib_Smokeping.pm", so I
added the fix to this same patch file, I guess it is OK, since we are patching
"lib/Smokeping.pm".

I tried it with poudriere and now the behavior of smokeping is correct on my
FreeBSD 12.2 server.

Best Regards,
Olivier
