dependencies, using a remote repository.

Log message:
pkgin: Update to 25.5.0.

## Version 25.5.0 (2025-05-19)

 * Improve SUPERSEDES support.  Top-level packages that are superseded are
   now correctly handled, and replacements are now correctly calculated to
   handle e.g. the recent php-X.Y -> phpXY-X.Y renames.

 * Improved handling for CONFLICTS.  Rather than simply give up, pkgin will
   now calculate the impact of the CONFLICT and show what will happen if the
   user wishes to continue.

 * Upgrades will now first upgrade just the core packaging tools if they
   have available updates.  Users may have to run "pkgin upgrade" twice to
   ensure all packages are upgraded.  This will help upgrade scenarios and
   avoid users having to manually run "pkg_add -U pkg_install pkgin" prior
   to upgrades.

Log message:
pkgin: Add pkgin-static option.

This ensures pkgin links all pkgsrc libraries statically.  I've used a
variant of this patch for my illumos and macOS binary builds for a long
time now, and it works very well to eliminate a whole class of potential
upgrade problems.

Not enabled by default, as it can be specific to each OS and
configuration, but is highly recommended for anyone distributing binary
package repositories.

Log message:
pkgin: Update to 24.12.0.

Tested on SmartOS, macOS, NetBSD, and Linux.  Tested with libfetch's
"openssl" option both on and off.  The package no longer pulls in
OpenSSL directly, instead leaving it to libfetch to determine whether
support is enabled or not.

## Version 24.12.0 (2024-12-05)

 * Cross-build fixes from Taylor.

 * Ensure logs use ISO-8601 timestamps.

 * Various autoconf and nbcompat cleanups.
