devel/freebsd-git-devtools: Simple Git tools from src/tools/tools/git
Rename from devel/git-arc to indicate that more tools from
src/tools/tools/git/ may be included.  The only additional tool for now
is mfc-candidates, which, as the name suggests, is a tool to find MFC
candidates.  Under a ports tree, mfc-candidates finds commits to merge
to quarterly.

The git-arc utility creates and manages FreeBSD Phabricator reviews
based on git commits. It is a git plugin that provides a wrapper around
arc.
The arc command has a few limitations that make it awkward for FreeBSD
development:
- Arcanist uses its own commit log template with a format does not match
FreeBSD's template.
- Arcanist presumes a model where all the commits in a development
branch are uploaded for review as a single Differential revision.
When working on a feature branch with multiple commits, it is usually
more efficient to review each commit individually.
git-arc mitigates these limitations.
