Pkgsrc changes:

 * Remove NetBSD-8 support (embedded LLVm requires newer C++
   than what is in -8; it's conceivable that this could still
   build with an external LLVM)
 * undo powerpc 9.0 file naming tweak, since we no longer support -8.
 * Remove patch to LLVM for powerpc now included by upstream.
 * Minor adjustments, checksum changes etc.
