#56171: distpath dist_subdir inconsistencies in documentation

 https://guide.macports.org/#development.creating-portfile says:


 {{{
 distpath
 Location to store downloaded distfiles.

 Value: ${portdbpath}/distfiles/${dist_subdir}/
 }}}


 {{{
 dist_subdir
 Create a sub-directory in distpath to store all fetched files
 }}}

 This means dist_subdir is used for building distpath and at the same time
 distpath is used for building dist_subdir which does not make sense.
