Kyle Evans 548701f136 sysutils/orch: update to 0.4
Highlights:
 - Many bug fixes
 - Improved ipc interface for more robust program startup
 - Cleaner lib interface to allow use in lua scripts
 - Multi-match support within a single match()
 - Terminal resize support

While we're here, orch has been renamed to porch upstream to deconflict
with a pre-existing rust framework.  The scripts are still called
(orch)estration scripts.

This change also switches to the new `check-install` target to sanity
test our install layout.

Porch is a program orchestration tool, inspired by expect(1) but scripted with
lua. This utility allows scripted manipulation of programs for, e.g., testing
or automation purposes. Porch drives spawn processes over a pts(4)
pseudo-terminal, which allows for a broader range of interactions with a program
under orchestration.
