Put the used ports repo hash into data.pkg/data

[karolyi]

Hey Bryan,

as discussed on IRC, I'd like to have information about what latest ports repo commit ID were the binaries in the pkg database built from.

The reason for it is, I could set my local poudriere ports repo to that commit, thus avoiding having to rebuild packages with huge resource hogging compilations, that are dependencies of packages that I build with it.

For clarification, here's a recurring example that is now happening again: rust. It currently has 1.92.0 in the binaries and 1.93.0 in the ports tree, which makes poudriere rebuilding it (with the aforementioned resource hogging), only to use it to compile clamd, that depends on it.

data.pkg/data could have an extra key with latest_ports_commit or something along these lines that I could extract, and then set my local ports repo to it. That way I could avoid going my production server crazy. :)

Thanks in advance!
Regards,
László

second this. I was looking for how to retrieve the commit hash to do the same thing as karolyi and found this issue.
