ports-mgmt/synth: new feature, minor bug fixes and improvements

This is a minor update to synth, which includes:
  * Support for the WHYFAIL environment variable.  If this variable
    is defined (to any value) in the environment, Synth will turn on
    the "debug" mode for dependency and option sanity checks.  This
    mode will provide exact details on how the package failed the check.
  * README.md: editorial corrections, 3 images replaced to reflect current
    version of Synth
  * Man page: editorial correction, WHYFAIL documented, and the "Impulse"
    indicator was documented (in NOTES section)
  * Significantly improve ports scan error messages.  In particular,
    eliminate the 'bad value ""' messages that are caused by ports that
    are partially or completely missing.  Also propagate exception
    messages when helping.
  * Log 03 (ignored ports) did not list the actual ports, only the reason
    the port was ignored.  Fix bug to show category/port too.

Erratum on previous commit message: The "Graceful Shutdown" is initiated
with Control-Q, not Control-C!  The typo is doubly unfortunate because
Control-C will exit Synth without cleaning up the mounts.
