devel/py-watchdog: update to 6.0.0 (#1984)

## Summary - Update devel/py-watchdog 4.0.2 -> 6.0.0 (same version as FreeBSD). - New patch `files/patch-src_watchdog_utils_platform.py`: add `midnightbsd` to watchdog's BSD platform detection. `sys.platform` is `midnightbsd4`, which upstream treated as an unknown platform, so `watchdog.observers.Observer` fell back to the polling observer. It now picks `KqueueObserver`, as on FreeBSD. - Regenerated the existing libinotify patch for the new line numbers and removed a trailing space in the Makefile (portlint). Needed by the new devel/eric7 port, which requires watchdog >= 5.0.0 (it imports `EVENT_TYPE_CLOSED_NO_WRITE`, which 4.x does not have). Dependents (`py-headroom-ai`, `py-pytest-watcher`, `py-mkdocs`, `py-werkzeug`) all require `watchdog>=2.0`/`>=4.0`, so they accept 6.0.0. …
