New description:
While our MacPorts Guide is quite extensive, there are a few portfile
keywords missing. And while many have previously been identified in
tickets, there are still a few that have not.
Per @jmroot, some items are documented via the man page for `portfile`.
And for those that are, we can update the guide with that info. Two such
cases are:
* `installs_libs`
* `add_users` - issue:38440
Some others are missing from both:
* `master_site_local`, `patch_site_local`, `archive_site_local` -
issue:62952
* `known_fail` - issue:59640
* `use_dmg` - issue:56036
* `configure.sdkroot`, `configure.macosx_deployment_target` - issue:39083

Replying to [comment:1 jmroot]:
> There is documentation for installs_libs in the portfile man page.
Indeed there is, along with detail for `add_users`. That makes things
easier, as we can reconcile from the man page, when possible.
Thanks for the heads-up Josh!
