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.

net-im/sshout: fix optimization compiling option and update optional dependency

This update fixes the followings:
  - The current upstream Makefile appends '-O1' to CFLAGS, which would
    inadvertently override any previous optimization option that passed by the user.
  - www/elinks has recently been updated to a supported version
    add optional dependency to it, and remove the related note in 'pkg-message'.

New port net-im/sshout: Instant-messaging solution based on SSH

Secure Shout Host Oriented Unified Talk is an instant-messaging platform
designed to make uses of the existing SSH server in your system.
SSHOUT creates a private chat room in your host. The authentication of the
chat room is done by SSH public authentication. Users can join your chat room
by either directly connecting your SSH server with any SSH client; or using a
SSHOUT client that implemented the client side SSHOUT API.
This package provides the SSHOUT server side programs; if you are finding a
SSHOUT client, go to project page and find out a suitable client; or you can
also write your own client using SSHOUT API.
