Patch to fix the problem

Periodic pkg audit is a good thing. Unfortunately, it is a bit annoying with
some of its warnings. For example, I receive this on a daily basis for mont=
hs
now:

  Database fetched: Sat Jul 11 03:38:29 CEST 2020
  bind911-9.11.20: Tag: expiration_date Value: 2021-12-31
  bind911-9.11.20: Tag: deprecated Value: End of life, please migrate to a
newer version of BIND9

Which is rather annoying since the expiration date is still 18 months away!=
!!

Similar, some ports are completely o.k. for running, only during the build
process they are using deprecated tools (notably python 2.7), this gives
messages such as:

  firefox-78.0_2,1: Tag: deprecated Value: Uses Python 2.7 which is EOLed
upstream
  spidermonkey60-60.9.0_3: Tag: deprecated Value: Uses Python 2.7 which is
EOLed upstream
  thunderbird-68.9.0_1: Tag: deprecated Value: Uses Python 2.7 which is EOL=
ed
upstream

Note that these packages do not use Python to run, only to build.

The attached patch allows to filter this using the nobs:

security_status_pkgaudit_expiration=3D"NO"
security_status_pkgaudit_deprecation=3D"NO"

that can be put in periodic.conf

I would really appreciated if this patch can make it in the system.

p.s.: a better solution might be to add a time window, e.g. warn me only if=
 a
expatriation date of a pkg is less than 3 months away. However, I do not kn=
ow
how to do that in sh/bash.
