x11-fonts/libXfont2: update to 2.0.8 (security) (#623)
Updates `x11-fonts/libXfont2` from 2.0.5 to 2.0.8 to address the X.Org
security advisory of 2026-07-08 (issues in libXfont2 prior to 2.0.8).
## CVEs fixed
- **CVE-2026-56001** — `BitmapScaleBitmaps()` integer overflow heap
buffer overflow
- **CVE-2026-56002** — `pcfReadFont()` PCF font parsing heap buffer
overflow
- **CVE-2026-56003** — `ComputeScaledProperties()` property buffer heap
overflow
All three fixes verified present in the 2.0.8 source.
## Changes
- `PORTVERSION` 2.0.5 → 2.0.8
- Added `tar:xz` to `USES` (2.0.8 ships as `.tar.xz`)
- Regenerated `distinfo`
## Notes
- Shared library soname is unchanged (`libXfont2.so.2`), so no dependent
`PORTREVISION` bumps are required.
- Validated with `bmake` build / `fake` (clean plist) / `package` on
amd64.

present before 2.0.8.
Build:
- Update PORTVERSION to 2.0.8 and regenerate distinfo for the new
distfile.
