Approved by: maintainer
Simplify the future removal of GNU_CONFIGURE_MANPREFIX after the
manprefix migration is complete. The current placement of
GNU_CONFIGURE_MANPREFIX will not result in consecutive blank lines or
comments when lines containing GNU_CONFIGURE_MANPREFIX are removed in
batches.

The full changelog can be found at

Previously we assumed that a port of KDE Gear 24.02-beta1 will use Qt6.
So kde:6 was used to determine that the applications version is beta1.
However, not all applications will be ported in time of the release as
it seems, so we need to have a better way to select the version.
For now, the KDE Gear-ports can use (for beta1)
CATEGORIES=$main kde kde-applications kde-devel
resepectively (for stable version)
CATEGORIES=$main kde kde-applications
to get the proper DISTVERSION value and environment set up.
- Merge all fpc-* units to lang/fpc. It gives us a better way to maintain fpc
and lazarus ports.
- Update Mk/fpc.mk for reflects new changes
- Update Mk/lazarus.mk for reflects new changes
- Now we can defined WANT_FPC_DEVEL AND WANT_LAZARUS_DEVEL for use devel version
of fpc or lazarus for build apps based on fpc/lazarus
- Add entries to MOVED
- Bump PORTREVISON of affected ports
- Some other minor modifications

We create software for people, and the KDE Gear releases are the result
of that. Every four months we publish new updates of a large number of
KDE apps and software libraries. We create new programs to meet more of
your needs, implement more features so you can adapt to an ever-changing
digital world, and make our software faster, more efficient, more
reliable. We also port it to more platforms so you can run it on more
devices: your laptop, your game console, your phone, anywhere.

https://kde.org/announcements/gear/23.08.0
Commit c57cd4390a had pacified one particular warning which often
breaks Vala code compilation with Clang 16, thus correct fix is not
to force an older compiler, but to pass down our CFLAGS to valac(1)
together with -v option to make the actual compiler call visible in
the build logs.
