#53436: port reclaim reports .turd_MacPorts file as unnused distfile

Component: base | Version: 2.4.0

------------------------+-----------------------------
MacPorts .pkg installers are created using `port pkg MacPorts` from the
MacPorts port. MacPorts strips empty directories before packaging after
destroot. We specify `destroot.keepdirs` in the MacPorts port to avoid
this, but this directive creates `.turd_MacPorts` files to make these
directories non-empty.
This also happens for `$prefix/var/macports/distfiles`, which is now
scanned by `port reclaim` when run. `port reclaim` does not know about the
`.turd_MacPorts` file, considers it to be an unused distfile and suggests
deleting it. While not a problem per-se, this is unexpected for users.
