portindex uses wrong cxx_stdlib for darwin 10,11,12?

Now that MacPorts 2.6.0 uses libc++ for darwin 10,11,12, isn't portindex doing the wrong thing on those versions?

I think this patch is needed. I've applied it to the buildbot machines.

Yes the default should change now, but you can choose a stdlib in the platform specifier like -p macosx_18_i386_libcxx. So mprsyncup should probably explicitly choose.

Update default stdlibs for portindex pretend mode

Fixes: #59069

Actually the stdlib goes in the middle for some reason. See attached.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

There's no need for mprsyncup to change, with the above fix already applied to portindex.

mprsyncup gained the ability to specify a cxx_stdlib back when we thought we were going to support multiple cxx_stdlibs on a single OS version. Since we're not going to do that, there's no reason to even keep this feature in mprsyncup.

Fair enough, just pointing out that it could be fixed without patching base.
