    UPDATE: sysutils/reaction 2.3.0

With v2.3.0 the program is rewritten in Rust.

There are quite a few changes in the port from the previous version.
- Dedicated _reaction user for running the program
- /etc/reaction folder where multiple configurations can be placed
- wheel group access required for using reaction commands
 
Having the _reaction user run the program does require this user
to be given permissions to the log files which can be done in
different ways depending on a admin's desires.

It will additionally require granting doas access to pfctl.

This makes installing not as out-of-box as before and requires
referencing the README, but I think its better than running
reaction as root.
