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.

[NEW PORT] sysutils/ethname: boot-time (re)naming of ethernet devices by MAC

An rc-script for pinning an ethernet network name to a MAC address.

--

This isn't typically needed on PCIe systems, but for systems with multiple
USB ethernet (ue) devices, which seem to like to come up in
non-deterministic order, it is very helpful; doubly so when the system in
question is a router / firewall where the network config and security
concerns vary wildly from one device to the next.

It could also be of use for traditional NICs (PCIe) when adding a new card
to a system, for example, and ensuring that the existing, previously
configured device sticks to the MAC address, and not having to worry about
which ends up /dev/xxxN vs /dev/xxxM.

The script inserts itself before netif, waits an adjustable delay for the
expected devices to appear, and then renames them as requested by the user.
All of the device configuration, pf, etc., can be written with the new
names. It does not attempt to automatically handle devices added after boot.

--

Usage is described in the script, but effectively:

$ cat /etc/rc.conf
ethname_enable="YES"
ethname_foo0_mac="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:00"
ethname_bar_mac="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:01"

# Optionally, otherwise it'll just enumerate all ethname_*_mac vars:
ethname_names="foo0 bar"
