Add "implicittls" USE flag

Hi,

you cannot currently run net-ftp/pure-ftpd in implicit TLS mode (default port 990), because this will require to compile pure-ftpd with "--with-implicittls":

From http://download.pureftpd.org/pub/pure-ftpd/doc/README:
> --with-implicittls: build a FTPS server (SSL/TLS is implicitely enabled).
> The protocol is incompatible with FTP and listens to another port by default
> (port 990, ftps). Never enable this option unless you know what you're doing.

My patch will add the "implicittls" USE flag to the ebuild (don't forget to add the USE flag to metadata.xml).

My patch will also make sure that the elogs from pkg_postinst will only be shown when you are doing a fresh install (there is no need to show them each time, is there?). Kind of bug 440214.
