  * Remove ConTeXt format
- textproc/foiltex: Update MASTER_SITES
  * Adopt port
- There are multiple ports which uses the macro USE_TEX=texmf that is
  downloading a big DISTFILE. Unfortunately it is not possible for me to
  test all the consumers in runtime. So in the following ports I have
  removed USE_TEX=texmf so that someone who uses those can report the
  runtime files those are missing. If possible(based on LICENSE
  permission) I will try to create a smaller distfile out of the
  texlive-20230313-texmf and change dependency accordingly otherwise
  will reinstate USE_TEX=texmf. The list of ports that are affected are
  following:
  * arabic/arabtex
  * graphics/epix
  * math/cadabra2
  * math/coq
  * math/gnuplot-tex-extras
  * net-mgmt/netmagis-www
  * print/dvisvg
  * print/lilypond
  * print/mftrace
  * print/tex-xdvik
  * print/latex-beamer

Mk/**tex.mk: Convert bsd.tex.mk to USES=tex

- Update all the consumers to use USES=tex
- USE_TEX=yes is the old way of writing USES=tex which has been removed
  and replaced in all ports
- Almost all of the USE_TEX features remains unchanged
- Some consumers had the same variables defined both in the mk
  infrastructure and also in the ports which have been removed from the
  ports as those are redundant.

In case any of the consumers are failing to build please make sure that
the nexessary USES=tex is there. Unlike previous USE_TEX=yes will no
longer load the required VARS for tex and related dependencies.

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.

Update TeXLive to TL2015.

- print/texlive-infra was renamed with print/texlive-tlmgr.
  Note that currently tlmgr(1) does not work because of
  lack of TLPDB.  This will be fixed.

- Lua libraries used in LuaTeX are separated into
  devel/tex-libtexlua and devel/texlibtexluajit.
  USE_TEX supports them via keywords "texlua" and "texluajit".

- libsynctex is currently installed by devel/tex-web2c.
  This will be separated into a single port.

- Add graphics/libpotrace and use installed libpotrace
  and libharfbuzz.
