openal.diff

audio/openal, the OpenAL Sample Implementation, is ancient and
unmaintained upstream. It should probably be removed. I doubt
many people are using it. According to Repology FreeBSD is one of
the last few systems to even distribute it [1]. Applications
probably expect audio/openal-soft in many cases too nowadays.

The attached patch adds a deprecation notice to the port. A patch
for removing audio/openal support in Mk/Uses/openal.mk is available
in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D19766.
