Anonymize syncthing builder.

syncthing reports a long version string that, by default, includes details =
of
the user that built the package and the hostname it was built on.  (This ca=
n be
seen by previewing the "Anonymous Usage Reporting" under General Settings).=

Since (eg) "peter@server.rulingia.com" is not very anonymous, it would nice=
 if
the port changed this to a suitably general identifier.  Luckily, the code
allows the default value to be overridden via environment variables (see
buildUser() and buildHost() in syncthing/build.go).

Looking through the "Version 3" usage reporting data, there doesn't appear =
to
be any other data of concern reported.

Looking at the "Builder" strings reported via https://data.syncthing.net/,
changing the defaults seems fairly common.

The attached patch changes the identification string to "ports@freebsd".
