#59993: Plist for certbot?

-------------------------+---------------------
 I recently installed certbot to handle automatic creation/renewal of
 certificates for my local development web-server.
 The port works great, but one thing that seems missing is a default
 mechanism for handling renewal.

 I would like to recommend that the certbot port be given a plist, as for
 daemons, but instead of running daemondo, will instead run
 /opt/local/bin/certbot renew once a week, to prevent a user's certificates
 from expiring. This command only renews certificates when they are within
 30 days of expiring, so once a month is too slow, but once a week should
 be fine as it fits with the general recommendation to renew between 60 and
 90 days after the 90-day certificate was issued.

 This will allow users of certbot with auto-renew plugins (such as certbot-
 nginx) to very easily setup auto-renewal.
