astro/py-ephem: Update to 4.2.1

- First release that offers wheels for Python 3.14
- Star database now makes the star Albereo available under its more
  official spelling Albireo
- Classes like Sun and Mercury are now defined using plain literal
  class statements, instead of being built dynamically in a for loop.
  This should make the classes visible to tools like editors,
  debuggers, and type checkers.

Strip had to be changed from PYTHON_TAG to PYTHON_SUFFIX in order to
also support threaded Python versions (3.13t).

python.mk: rename PYTHON_EXT_SUFFIX to PYTHON_TAG, document, etc

EXT_SUFFIX, according to PEP 3149, refers to the full tag and
extension for compiled extension module objects, eg .cpython-311.so,
.cpython-313t.so, etc. We do not use the correct semantic meaning,
and this usage becomes ambiguous and confusing when tags do not
match between bytecode and compiled extension module objects.

Rename our PYTHON_EXT_SUFFIX to PYTHON_TAG to align with PEP 3147's
specification of a magic tag, which consists of implementation name
and shorthand version only. This is meant for bytecode and other
files containing this tag in their filename that do not depend on
a specific Python ABI for the same version. Chase all existing
consumers.

Introduce PYTHON_SOABI to align with PEP 3149's specification of a
tag, which consists of implementation name, shorthand version and
any ABI flags present (this and PYTHON_TAG are identical without
ABI flags). This is meant for compiled extension module objects and
other files that depend on a specific Python ABI for the same
version.

Add documentation for these variables that our PYTHON_EXT_SUFFIX
never had.

python: bump all USE_PYTHON=distutils consumers after RUN_DEPENDS removal

Any missed ports, feel free to bump.

Any ports that need setuptools at runtime can have the devel/py-setuptools
manually added back to RUN_DEPENDS, but understand that this practice
is deprecated; see CHANGES for details.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles

Commit b7f05445c00f 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.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles

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.

Relax hardcoded paths to fix build with Python 3.8.7

Since r558913 Python 3.8 incorporates BPO-42604 [1] which changed the
shared libs naming scheme.  This means "EXT_SUFFIX" is now derived from
SOABI and yields with Python 3.8 to ".cpython-38.so" instead of ".so".

The affected ports strip the libaries in the "post-install" target via
hardcoded path(s) and the build fails at the end because the new extension
is not expected at this place.

Remedy the issue by adding wildcards to these paths.  This should also
prepare the ports for future Python releases, which will use the new shared
libs naming scheme.

[NEW PORT] astro/py-ephem: Compute positions of the planets and stars

PyEphem provides an ephem Python package for performing high-precision
astronomy computations. The underlying numeric routines are coded in C
and are the same ones that drive the popular XEphem astronomy application,
whose author, Elwood Charles Downey, generously gave permission for their
use in PyEphem. The name ephem is short for the word ephemeris, which is
the traditional term for a table giving the position of a planet, asteroid,
or comet for a series of dates.
