*/*: Introduction USES=sudo

A new uses 'sudo' has been added to transperently depends of the
proper flavor of sudo 'default' or 'sssd' depending on the default
version set by the user.

If you prefere to use 'sssd' flavor of sudo, add the following
to your make.conf:

        DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=sudo=sssd

All sudo consummer ports has benn updated to USES=sudo

*/*: PORTREVISION++ on some @sample-using ports

The handling of @sample with regard to no-root installation was
recently fixed, by 452309533805 (in ports) plus changes in pkg 2.4.
These need new packages built before they will correctly install,
including into VM images generated as part of the FreeBSD release
process.

Unfortunately with the release scheduled for just a few weeks away
and generally slow arm64 package building, there isn't time for a
full pkg set rebuild; so bump a handful of ports which are used in
the release process so that they will be rebuilt.

Users who are not building VM images using the "no-root" pathway
(aka using a METALOG index of the disk image) are not affected by
this; we doubt anyone other than re@ will notice.

sysutils/py-google-compute-engine: revive port

This reverts commit 5a7ff5102154b08055c37868810192a9dca8044b and uses
www/py-boto3 instead of the removed devel/py-boto, and releng-gce@
assumes maintainership.

This is meant to be a temporary measure as we are exploring alternatives
for GCE support.

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)

Stefan Eßer (se) · 2.8.17
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.

Convert Python ports to FLAVORS.

Ports using USE_PYTHON=distutils are now flavored.  They will
  automatically get flavors (py27, py34, py35, py36) depending on what
  versions they support.

  There is also a USE_PYTHON=flavors for ports that do not use distutils
  but need FLAVORS to be set.  A USE_PYTHON=noflavors can be set if
  using distutils but flavors are not wanted.

  A new USE_PYTHON=optsuffix that will add PYTHON_PKGNAMESUFFIX has been
  added to cope with Python ports that did not have the Python
  PKGNAMEPREFIX but are flavored.

  USES=python now also exports a PY_FLAVOR variable that contains the
  current python flavor.  It can be used in dependency lines when the
  port itself is not python flavored.  For example, deskutils/calibre.

  By default, all the flavors are generated.  To only generate flavors
  for the versions in PYTHON2_DEFAULT and PYTHON3_DEFAULT, define
  BUILD_DEFAULT_PYTHON_FLAVORS in your make.conf.

  In all the ports with Python dependencies, the *_DEPENDS entries MUST
  end with the flavor so that the framework knows which to build/use.
  This is done by appending '@${PY_FLAVOR}' after the origin (or
  @${FLAVOR} if in a Python module with Python flavors, as the content
  will be the same).  For example:

    RUN_DEPENDS= ${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}six>0:devel/py-six@${PY_FLAVOR}

Google Compute Engine offers scripts and daemons which runs in the background and provides the following services:

- Accounts daemon to setup and manage user accounts, and to enable SSH key based
  authentication.
- Clock skew daemon to keep the system clock in sync after VM start and stop
  events.
- Instance setup scripts to execute VM configuration scripts during boot.
- IP forwarding daemon that integrates network load balancing with forwarding
  rule changes into the guest.
- Metadata scripts to run user provided scripts at VM startup and shutdown.
- Network setup service to enable multiple network interfaces on boot.
