It is MacPorts policy not to autostart daemons. We only deviate from
this policy where the port would not make sense at all if it were not
autostarted, e.g. the mpstats and certsync ports.

SDRplay3 also autostarts its service, and should probably changed not to
do that.

I've pushed [1] to fix that.
