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.

When there is a do-install target, do not use a post-install target, do everything at once.  Sometime, rename post-install into a options helper target.

I did not fix ports that were such a mess that I could not figure out
what they really wanted to do.  I also did not change ports that had
some version of an auto-plist code in post-install, for the same reason.

Update USE_GITHUB so it does not require GH_COMMIT.

Using this new scheme allows only setting the _tag_ or _commit hash_ in
GH_TAGNAME and not having to know the hash for a tag.  This scheme will
download a tarball that has a different checksum than before due to a changed
directory name for extraction.

The following MASTER_SITES are provided to retain the old checksum and
directory structure (that require GH_COMMIT):
  GH -> GHL
  GITHUB -> GITHUB_LEGACY

- new port pkgcompare

This program provides for an alternate pkg upgrade procedure.

Usage: pkg-compare [options] new_path old_path

This program reads local.sqlite in new_path and compares list of installed
packages in local.sqlite in old_path. If a package is found in old_path which
is not in new_path then the name of the port is printed, one per line.

Command line switches:
    -p  prefix uninstalled packages with 'pkg install -Rf'
    -m  show manually installed packages only, no deps
