Bryan Drewery 634d29d414 Bring back SuPHP.
Quite a few users still depend on this and are getting it from untrusted
sources. Its security track record is actually pretty good still.

SuPHP is still the simplest solution for shared hosting.

Other vendors still provide this as well.

- Add a pkg-message explaining the situation and advising users to move
  away from this if possible.
- Stage
- Take maintainership

SuPHP has no upstream maintainer and thus is not actively having
bugs and security issues addressed.
Its security track record is pretty good. The worst so far has been
privilege escalation to the httpd user, which is no worse than not
using SuPHP.
It is advisable to convert your system to PHP-FPM if possible.
