mail/libetpan: update to 1.10.1 (#718)

Update `mail/libetpan` from 1.9.4 to 1.10.1, and bump the one dependent. ## Shared library version change - OLD: `lib/libetpan.so.20` / `libetpan.so.20.5.0` - NEW: `lib/libetpan.so.26` / `libetpan.so.26.0.0` Confirmed from the staged tree, not inferred. FreeBSD handled it the same way — commit `a3f7a76fe829` bumped their dependents. `mail/claws-mail` is the **only** dependent in mports (whole-tree grep including `*.mk`/`*.options`), so its `PORTREVISION` goes 1 → 2 in this PR. FreeBSD also bumped `deskutils/cairo-dock-plugins`, which mports doesn't have. **API note:** despite the 20 → 26 soname jump, the staged-vs-plist diff shows **zero header changes** — none added, removed, or renamed. That suggests claws-mail needs only a rebuild, not source work. Not verified …
