Patch for itext

Very outdated, current version in tree was released around 10 years ago and upstream is still active. Project is now located here: https://github.com/itext/itext7
Comment 1 Alex Dupre freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-12-27 08:36:25 UTC 
Newer itext versions have different license, package name and ABI.

The maintained evolution of this software is at https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF

I have no objections in marking it as deprecated, but please use a different message, recommending the above replacement (and to take maintainership).
Comment 2 Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-12-27 09:57:29 UTC 
Hi,

How about simply adding "Outdated version and deprecated by upstream" and in the commit message refer to https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF ?

Best regards,
Daniel
