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.

Approved by:		portmgr (tcberner)

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.

Stop trying to build a package

The build process starts by trying to to download nuget and some dependencies
required for building.  It expects them to be downloaded this way, and because
the network is down during build, it fails.  So stop trying to build pakages
for f-sharp: hoping that users interested in f-sharp have networking while
building.

F# developed as a research programming language to provide the much sought-after combination of type safety, succinctness, performance, expressivity and scripting, with all the advantages of running on a high-quality, well-supported modern runtime system.  This combination has been so successful that the language is now being transitioned towards a fully supported language on the .NET platform.

F# was developed as a pragmatically-oriented variant of ML that shares a
core language with OCaml.  Unlike other scripting languages it executes
at or near the speed of C# and C++, making use of the performance that
comes through strong typing.  Unlike many type-inferred,
statically-typed languages it also supports many dynamic language
techniques, such as property discovery and reflection where needed.  F#
includes extensions for working across languages and for object-oriented
programming, and it works seamlessly with other .NET programming
languages and tools.
