This house is clean

All GAR packages in the lnx-bbc tree now fetch at least semi-cleanly
without the use of any garchives.  Some packages have been upgraded
due to the lack of any upstream source, and net/becker-ethernet-tools
is basically disabled for now.

I have added a couple of new variables -- MIRROR_SITES and
GARCHIVE_SITES -- which are used in the fetching of objects.  The
purpose here is to better distinguish the various entries in what used
to be a single comprehensive MASTER_SITES.  Under the new schema,
MASTER_SITES will be the official upstream distributors of the object,
MIRROR_SITES will be third party mirrors of the upstream distributors,
both of which should be set (as applicable) in the Makefile for each
package.  GARCHIVE_SITES will contain URLs for garchives, and is
conditionally set in gar.conf.mk.  Package Makefiles should not add to
it.
