xtraeme aac2169619 Initial import of smartmontools-5.32 from pkgsrc-wip, contributed by
<shattered at users.sourceforge.net> with some minor changes by me.

The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl
and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (SMART)
built into most modern ATA and SCSI hard disks.  In many cases,
these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation
and failure.

This closes PR pkg/25616.
