Re: lang/erlang - provide epmd.rc

It will be a problem if people get an update to the package using _erlang
and then update again and try to use the same uid for _epmd, but the window
is pretty small, and we are short on available uids, so that's probably the
least worst option.

Ok with me to change it (plist, rc script, db/user.list) and bump
REVISION-main.
