I have removed the prompt now. This is a required dependency for ports
not much different than other dependencies. It is necessary to render,
interact and configure options in the new options framework. The old UI
was seriously lacking in functionality and extendability. It was
crutched by only being in base, meaning any change we made would need to
wait for a *FreeBSD release* to improve or change the situation. Now we
can make continual incremental improvements to the ports config dialog.

NO_DIALOG can be used to avoid this config dialog.

The "old config" code was removed as there is really no good reason to
keep it and maintain it. It would be prone to bitrot and risk even
showing the wrong options. There is a several-second delay before
bringing up the new dialog now on the first time. After that this will
just update as usual with portmaster runs.
