[client] Fetch FreeBSD port files from GitHub mirror instead of cgit (#6880)

cgit.freebsd.org now sits behind an Anubis anti-bot challenge and
intermittently returns an HTML challenge page with HTTP 200 instead of
the requested file, breaking the FreeBSD port release job. Fetch the
port Makefile and distinfo from the official freebsd-ports GitHub
mirror, retry transient failures, and fail loudly if HTML is returned
instead of the expected file.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved reliability when retrieving FreeBSD port metadata during
release and issue preparation.
* Added automatic retries and HTTPS-only redirect handling for safer
downloads.
* Validates fetched content to detect unexpected HTML responses and
avoids processing invalid data.
* Updated port metadata retrieval to use a more reliable mirror,
improving version extraction and the resulting comparisons and
regenerated release information.
