Florian Walpen e5453d2a9f audio/ardour: Update to 7.2.0 release, replace audio/ardour6
- Submitter becomes maintainer

This patch provides an update to Ardour 7.1.0, thereby replacing Ardour
6.9.0 in audio/ardour6 and moving the port to audio/ardour. There's no
reason to keep the major version in the portname, we only had one version
for quite some time.

The patch also incorporates bug #267065, relaxing the version requirement
on the python build dependency.

Some notes about the changes I made:

Issue 1 - Official download is now tailored to browsers only, that's why
the distfile is named "510". Put it in a named and versioned subdirectory
to not mess up the distfiles directory. I didn't find a better download
alternative. Github is not an option, because the download there is
deliberately made empty (sic).

Issue 2 - Even though I followed the advice in the porters handbook to
the best of my knowledge, portlint warns about the use of DISTFILES and
DISTNAME. The problem is the odd distfile name (Issue 1) combined with
non-matching extraction path and portname. If I follow the suggestions of
portlint, I have to define WRKSRC above the license block which portlint
doesn't like either.

Issue 3 - Ardour includes its major version (e.g. "ardour7") in many
pkg-plist paths. I factored these out into a substitution variable named
ARDOUR_MAJOR, to ease future updates to the port. Some of these
substitutions came through the portname previously.
