remove sysutils/snapdl

Hello

It turns out that sysutils/snapdl isn't maintained anymore. The maintainer is
not reachable, his mail domain is abandoned, the MASTER_SITES doesn't provide
the tarballs.

snapdl is a tool to retrieve the last snapshots of OpenBSD, but it only gives
http or ftp protocol choice and doesn't use signify.

This can be easily replaced by 2 lines using rsync.

rsync -av --exclude=*fs --exclude=*iso \
rsync://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/amd64/ dest
cd dest && signify -C -p /etc/signify/openbsd-63-base.pub -x SHA256.sig *
