Patch to add devel/mkcert v 1.4.4

Patch to add devel/mkcert v1.4.4

mkcert is a simple tool for making locally-trusted development certificates=
. It
requires no configuration.

Using certificates from real certificate authorities (CAs) for development =
can
be dangerous or impossible (for hosts like example.test, localhost or
127.0.0.1),
but self-signed certificates cause trust errors. Managing your own CA is the
best solution, but usually involves arcane commands, specialized knowledge =
and
manual steps.

mkcert automatically creates and installs a local CA in the system root sto=
re,
and generates locally-trusted certificates.
mkcert does not automatically configure servers to use the certificates,
though, that's up to you.

-----

One of the top installed homebrew packages, support for FreeBSD is provided=
 by
this (open) PR: https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/pull/552, I'm not sur=
e if
best practice is to to build from the fork, use remote patch files or just =
keep
the local implementation in the port (as I hope the PR will eventually get
merged). Thanks
