port reclaim reports .turd_MacPorts file as unnused distfile

Description
MacPorts .pkg installers are created using port pkg MacPorts
from the MacPorts port. MacPorts strips empty directories before packaging after destroot. We specify destroot.keepdirs
in the MacPorts port to avoid this, but this directive creates .turd_MacPorts
files to make these directories non-empty.
This also happens for $prefix/var/macports/distfiles
, which is now scanned by port reclaim
when run. port reclaim
does not know about the .turd_MacPorts
file, considers it to be an unused distfile and suggests deleting it. While not a problem per-se, this is unexpected for users.
