Adam Weinberger 9e03d9958e devel/msgpack: Update and split into C and C++ versions
Upstream now provides msgpack as two separate distributions: a C version
with the traditional libmsgpackc.so library, and a header-only C++
version.

devel/msgpack is now devel/msgpack-c and devel/msgpack-cxx, and its
consumers now point to one or both. Note that it is entirely possible
for both to be required. PORTREVISION bump for all consumers.

In my testing, it's not clear that the MSGPACK option in the mariadb
ports actually does anything. I don't think mariadb is actually linking
against msgpack, even before this commit.

MessagePack is an efficient binary serialization format, which lets you
exchange data among multiple languages like JSON, except that it's faster and
smaller. Small integers are encoded into a single byte and short strings
require only one extra byte in addition to the strings themselves.
