  *: fix broken PORTSCOUT limit configurations

Audited every PORTSCOUT setting in the tree (526 ports) against the
parser in Portscout::API and the limit checks in FindNewestFile(), and
fixed the 30 that could never report an update.

Four classes of bug:

1. Invalid syntax. graphics/GraphicsMagick had a stray backslash inside
   a character class ([0-9\]) making the regex fail to compile, so
   Portscout rejected the limit outright. textproc/gspell used
   "limitw:even" without the required component index, which only
   matches ^(\d{1,2}),(even|odd)$ and was discarded with a warning.

2. Wrong key. graphics/clutter, x11-toolkits/gtk30 and
   x11-toolkits/gtk40 used "limit:1,even" instead of "limitw:1,even",
   turning the even/odd selector into a literal regex that matches no
   version at all. gtk30/gtk40 also get an explicit major-version limit,
   since Portscout's automatic limiting for version-suffixed port names
   does not trigger for two-digit suffixes.

3. Limits written against the distfile tag rather than the version
   Portscout actually compares. For GitHub ports, FindNewestFile()
   strips non-digit prefixes and suffixes from the tag and rewrites
   non-digit separators as dots, so DISTVERSIONPREFIX is never present
   and underscores never survive. devel/xxhash (^v...),
   misc/py-polars (^py-), graphics/ming (^ming-),
   devel/universal-ctags (^p6) and net/freebsd-uucp (^1_) were all
   matching against strings that cannot occur. Also fixes the "\d" that
   had lost its backslashes in devel/aws-c-event-stream and
   editors/neovim-qt, and the "\.*$" (zero or more dots, anchored) in
   x11-themes/mate-themes, which excluded every real release.

4. Stale branch pins left behind by past updates, now excluding the
   port's own version: deskutils/baobab (^47. at 48.0),
   editors/gedit (^48. at 50.0), emulators/wine (^8.0 at 9.0),
   devel/rubygem-vite_ruby-gitlab (^3.3. at 3.10.2) and
   lang/mono6.8 (a [1-9] third component, at 6.8.0.123).

The remaining ports dropped "limitw:1,even" entirely. GNOME no longer
uses even/odd minor versions, so the selector excluded the installed
version in devel/dconf, devel/gsettings-desktop-schemas,
games/five-or-more, games/gnome-nibbles, games/swell-foop, games/tali,
graphics/eog-plugins, multimedia/cheese and textproc/yelp-tools.
devel/gitg's version is a single component, so the selector could never
apply. security/gcr3 and sysutils/tracker3 keep a major-version pin
instead, as gcr 4 and tracker 3 ship from separate ports.

No functional change to any package, so no PORTREVISION bumps. Verified
with portlint on all 30 ports: no new warnings, and the pre-existing
fatals in devel/xxhash, net/freebsd-uucp and multimedia/cheese are
unchanged.
