pkgsrc changes:
---------------
* Use XXXtar to avoid the following complaint:
tar: File extended headers posix ustar archive. Extracting as plain
files. Following files might be in the wrong directory or have wrong
attributes.

As a side-effect of migrating the homepages, pkglint also fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines. These and the new homepages have been
checked manually.
Temporarily disable the processes plugin for NetBSD, until the patch
is rewritten to build again.

(previously "ps_disk_ops"). The new metric "disk_octets" has been
added and is reporting disk I/O only. Add option to collect the count
