Package for Gentoo

A package for varnish has been added to the main gentoo package repository.

Currently this is in testing and for x86 ARCHs only. Testers welcome.

All bugs in the gentoo ebuild (eg. the startup script or packaging) should be reported to https://bugs.gentoo.org/ and assigned to bangert a_t gentoo d_o_t org. Thanks.
