diff -u that fixes the problem

Hi!  A few months ago, I found that bash was unfortunately installed on my
computer, when it used to not be.
Recently, I found the culprit is a bad default in the p11-kit options.  The
BASH option should be opt-in, not opt-out, as I have never needed bash.  If I
wanted GNU software, I'd be using GNU/Linux, not FreeBSD.
The bash option is perhaps useful for people who use bash, and they can still
opt into it after the application of this diff which fixes the problem.

Many packages require p11-kit, and they do not require bash.
I now have to do
pkg delete -f bash bash-completion
after updating my packages, as things currently are.  Very inconvenient.
