The only way for native FreeBSD binaries to connect to modern Oracle databases is
usage of OCI8 libraries supplied by the port. Additional changes:
- integrate patch supplied with PR 211107;
- assign maintainership to the submitter;
- supply additional MASTER_SITE;
- dead WWW link replaced with working copy of old one;
- bump PORTREVISION.
