Changes to the pkgsrc infrastructure and notes:

- The default version of PostgresQL is now 12.

- Note that firefox and thunderbird do not build on NetBSD 8.  Users
  who wish to run these programs are advised to update to NetBSD 9.

- Many perl packages that were superfluous because their content is
  included in perl itself have been removed.
