www/bluefish: update to 2.4.2 (#1256)

Updates Bluefish to 2.4.2, resets PORTREVISION, refreshes the staged resource plist, and removes stale USE_LDCONFIG (only plugins under lib/bluefish are installed).\n\nValidation: bmake makesum, patch, build, fake, package, test, check-license, staged plist audit, and git diff --check. portlint reports only the retained work directory as fatal plus NLS and explicit PORTREVISION advisories. ## Summary by Sourcery Update the Bluefish port to version 2.4.2 and align its packaging metadata with the current installation layout. Enhancements: - Update Bluefish to the 2.4.2 release and refresh its staged package contents. - Remove the obsolete shared-library cache configuration because the package only installs private plugins. Chores: - Reset PORTREVISION for the upstream version update. …

*: bump PORTREVISION for the textproc/libxml2 2.15 shared library change (#848)

`textproc/libxml2` 2.15 changed SONAME from `libxml2.so.2` to `libxml2.so.16` **and** removed ELF symbol versioning entirely — the new library defines no `LIBXML2_*` versions at all. Consumers built against the old library were never rebuilt, so they still record a dependency on `libxml2.so.2` plus version requirements nothing can satisfy, and fail at load time: ``` ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.2: version LIBXML2_2.4.30 required by /usr/local/lib/libevdocument3.so.4 not defined ``` ### Scope `Tools/scripts/bump_revision.pl -f -l textproc/libxml2` — **436 Makefiles**: 323 revisions incremented, 113 gained a `PORTREVISION` line. The diff touches nothing but `PORTREVISION` lines (verified: `git diff -U0` shows no other changed line), and spot-checked ports still …
