Resurrect archivers/bzip and assign maintainer
This port was removed due not having a publically available distfile. That has been fixed per the PR with maintainership assigned to submitter. Additionally: * The patch-aa was renamed * The patch-ab and patch-ac touched the same file; they were combined and renamed * DragonFly support was added (hence the portrevision bump) * GPLv2 license was annotated * 80-column formatting was respected * PLIST sorted PR: 188939 Submitted by: Chris Hutchinson Tweaks: marino
