- Update xfce.mk to avid forcing too many dependencies on consumers
- Change dependency on garcon to reference libgarcon-1.so (main
library)
- Explicitly add USE_XFCE components to the ports actually needing
them.
- Cleanup dependencies, adding/removing missing/extra dependencies
- Change the referenced library in some LIB_DEPENDS to the actually
linked one (avoids false positives in poudriere Q/A tests)
- Bump PORTREVISION on all touched ports, even indirectly due to
the effect of removing forced dependencies on certain components
- Remove USES=fuse from gigolo. I could not find any kind f reference
to fuse in the code.
- xfce4-bsdcpufreq-plugin: Also remove empty comment at the top of
the Makefile
Upstream configure script does not have a specific canberra knob,
so use the sound knob to really control linking to canberra library
for sound support.
To better describe the option I renamed it to SOUND (still disabled
by default)

All available versions of caja-extensions depends on legacy version
of GUPnP which is unsupported upstream and doesn't build with newer
versions of libxml2. Drop plugin for new until it's fixed upstream.
gtk-doc is now a build dependency due to

xfce4-notifyd configure script automatically adds a dependency on
libcanberra-gtk3 if found on the system.
To have control on this I added a new CANBERRA option (disabled by
default) to the port to control configure behavior and ensure that
the port does not link to it if the option is disabled.
