Bug 228291: [patch] security/plasma5-kwallet-pam: make it work
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228291



--- Description ---
- Remove USES=gettext and add USE_KDE=wallet_run.
- Patch the code so kwalletd can be found in LOCALBASE.
- Replace the use of socat with netcat which is in base.  Note that netcat is
bidirectional.	It sends input from stdin over the socket and input from the
socket to stdout.  After receiving EOF on stdin it keeps polling the socket for
input until the other end closes the connection, which in the case of kwalletd
never happens because it's also waiting for more data until the other end
closes the connection.	Call netcat using "nc | :" so its stdout is a pipe of
which the far end closes immediately (stdout itself stays open).  Without a
valid stdout netcat becomes unidirectional.  Using "nc >&-" doesn't work
because it closes stdout itself and its descriptor will be reused for the
socket so netcat thinks it has a valid stdout.
- Add an upstream followup to the CVE patches committed in ports r469032.
- Fix an off-by-one buffer size check.
- Fix a call to bind(2).  The third argument should be the size of the sockaddr
struct.  It contains an extra field besides sun_path and sun_family in BSD so
the name of the socket got truncated.
