Commit b7f05445c0 has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
This commit implements such a proposal and moves one of the WWW: entries
of each pkg-descr file into the respective port's Makefile. A heuristic
attempts to identify the most relevant URL in case there is more than
one WWW: entry in some pkg-descr file. URLs that are not moved into the
Makefile are prefixed with "See also:" instead of "WWW:" in the pkg-descr
files in order to preserve them.
There are 1256 ports that had no WWW: entries in pkg-descr files. These
ports will not be touched in this commit.
The portlint port has been adjusted to expect a WWW entry in each port
Makefile, and to flag any remaining "WWW:" lines in pkg-descr files as
deprecated.

Full release notes available on the official page
(https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/7.0)
Of course, conservative users can keep 6.4.x stable version by switch to use
all-in-one editors/libreoffice6 port and even with i18n langpack (off by default).
It will be kept updated at least till 7.1.0 version will be released.
Some notes about changes in port options:
- GTK2 option is obsolete by upstream
- GTK3 option is not more set by default because of unstable yet and have visual glitches
- QT5 option is set by default to provide comfy visual style for every user
- Change VCL autotetect logic (used if enable, skipto next in row if disabled:
-- For KDE/LXQT: kf5, qt5, gtk3_kde5, gtk3, gen
-- For GNOME, Unity, XFCE, MATE: gtk3, qt5, gen
-- All other DE should follow gnome list
One small note — since upcoming Qt5-5.15 will drop binary support for FreeBSD 11.x due to
outdated OpenSSL-1.0 in base, here is no reason to enable QT5 option on FreeBSD <12 by default
Thanks for all testers and supporters!
