archivers/pixz: new port (1.0.7)

Folks,

Despite of current security issue with xz/lzma the algortihm itself provides
great compression, and the existing XZ Utils provide great compression in
the .xz file format, but they produce just one big block of compressed data.

Here, a new port which is called archivers/pixz which produces a collection
of smaller blocks which makes random access to the original data possible.
This is especially useful for large tarballs.

This can be used as seprated application or via tar, that described on
homepage: https://github.com/vasi/pixz
