#49231: OpenBLAS and OpenBLAS-devel: unify into one Portfile with subport

Comment (by dstrubbe@…):
There are example of both patterns: port and port-devel have separate
Portfiles, or port-devel as subport in port's Portfile. mpich and openmpi
are examples of the latter. So, I think both can be considered standard
practices.
My motivation is I want to propose a reform of the treatment of variants,
to use the compilers portgroup, and to use the logic that currently
changes the meaning of the clang variant to instead set default variants
accordingly, which would make things more transparent and controllable to
the user. Since this change would apply equally to OpenBLAS and OpenBLAS-
devel, it could be applied only once if the Portfiles were merged.
