Mk/Uses/xorg-cat.mk: Resurrect CATEGORIES=proto and switch EXTRACT_SUFX to xz

Resurrect CATEGORIES=proto to simplify the port's Makefile.
Remove experimental from the meson's comment, as some ports have fully
transitioned to building with Meson.
Upstream has switched from bz2 to xz, so update EXTRACT_SUFX.

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.

Stefan Eßer (se) · 2.10.6_7
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 xorg x11 servers to 1.20.7

Update xorg x11 servers to 1.20.7.  This updates x11-servers/xorg-server,
xephyr, xorg-dmx, xorg-nestserver, xorg-vbserver and xwayland.

Enable the UDEV backend by default, instead of the DEVD backend, for
autoconfiguration of input devices on FreeBSD 12 and later.
FreeBSD 11 lacks the needed support in base and will keep on using the DEVD
backend.
Support for the HAL backend is dropped completely, it has been deprecated
for a long time.
Update and improve the DEVD backend.
Add a pkg message about sysctl configuration that might be needed when using
UDEV.

Use the upstream fix for glamour issues.

Use evdev xkb rules by default in xwayland [2]

Add x11-drivers/xf86-input-libinput to the list installed by default by
x11-drivers/xorg-drivers.

Fix net/tigervnc-server and emulators/virtualbox-ose

Bump portrevision of all x11 drivers, as well as other ports dependent on
xorg-server.

This represents work by many people over a long period.  These include
wulf, ak, dumbbell, hselasky pete AT nomadlogic DOT org, jbeich, manu,
myself and possibly others (I tried to look through history, but might have
missed people. If so, I am sorry.)

Split out evdev headers from multimedia/v4l_compat

Split out evdev headers (input.h, input-event-codes.h, uinput.h) into their
own port, devel/evdev-proto, and update those to be current with the Linux
4.19 kernel.  This is done in order to be able to update the rest of the
FreeBSD input stack, which is forthcoming.

By splititng out the evdev headers we can update them independent of other
updates in v4l_compat, which makes it easier for the graphics team to keep
track of them and keep them updated as needed.

Update devel/libevdev from 1.4.4 to 1.5.9 instead of trying to make it work
with the updated headers.  This will be further updated.

Update devel/py-evdev from 0.5.0 to 0.8.1 instead of trying to make it work
with the updated evdev headers.

Update consumers to use devel/evdev-proto rather than multimedia/v4l_compat
as needed, and bump portrevisions.

This is the first step in getting the FreeBSD input stack (libevdev,
libinput and so on) updated to newer versions.

Many thanks to all who have helped out with testing, code and exp-runs.
Apologies if I've forgotten to add any names.

Switch to xorgproto instead of individual packages

Upstream used to distribute protocol headers as separate packages, but has
decided to merge those to a common package, named xorgproto.  This update
tracks that change.

* Add a new port, x11/xorgproto, with are protocol headers for xorg.
* Hook the new protocol port to the build and to infrastructure in
  bsd.xorg.mk.
* Update all ports with a dependency on any of the old *proto packages to
  instead depend on xorgproto.  Bump portrevision.
* Delete the old *proto packages, update MOVED.
