    net-misc/scponly: GLEP-81, fix sftp-server path, add maintainer
    
    Redone to address feedback in https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/14286
    
    scponly's sftp support has been broken since profile 17.1's move
    from /usr/lib/ to /usr/lib64/; this includes the fix for that.
    
    Also moved scponly's creation of a chroot user behind a
    USE=chroot flag, as it's entirely usable if you are setting up
    your own chroots and do not need it to create one.
    
    Added myself as proxy maintainer.
