Submit #3145: Update libelf to FreeBSD 12 current and build as base library usable by ports

DragonFly dports graphics/mesa-dri has

LIB_DEPENDS+=	libelf.so:devel/libelf

FreeBSD links with its own base libelf and does not use ports devel/libelf.
FreeBSD is right in its approach.  ports devel/libelf and base libelf are
different code bases.  Ports or pkgsrc devel/libelf appears to have problems
with modern mesa.  This can be seen using some Radeon graphics cards where
Firefox with
user_pref("layers.acceleration.force-enabled", true);
results in a completely black window when trying to start Firefox with
something like
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libGL.so firefox &

What is notable about this patch is just how little the result will
differ from FreeBSD 12 current's version.
