Koop Mast 289883b11b Update ImageMagick to 6.9.10.14 [1]
* Add PKGNAMESUFFIX and rename the directory. This was done to show
  that IM6 is not the "main" version. But still fully supported by upstream.
* Convert a number of options to optionhelpers.
* Add option for ISO/IEC 23008-12:2017 HEIF suport
* Add comment to pkg-descr explaining IM6's "legacy" tag.
* Add comment to the patch-config_policy.xml file why it still needed.

Please note that IM7 is not a drop in replacement due to library API and
command arguments changes. And as a result ports need to decide for themself
which version to use.

Chase these changes in all the ports that using IM6.

ImageMagick is a package for display and interactive manipulation of
images. The package includes tools for image conversion, annotation,
compositing, animation, and creating montages. ImageMagick can read and
write many of the more popular image formats (e.g. JPEG, TIFF, PNM, XPM,
Photo CD, etc.).
The package can be built _without_ the GUI (X11) support at all -- it
will not have the display, import, and animate functionality, but remain
extremely useful for image manipulation.
The optional "display" utility conflicts with the utility of the
same name from the misc/display port/package.
While ImageMagick 6 is labeled by upstream as "legacy", this means that
it will only receive bug fixes. New features will only be added in
ImageMagick 7.
There is currently no plan of stopping support for ImageMagick 6 upstream.
