Release numerous ports to ports@

I've been retired for a few years, and it is unlikely I will be doing
any more scientific computing support in the future.  I have continued
to maintain ~160 ports to the best of my ability, mainly as a favor to
the community, but I can no longer justify the time and effort
required.  I am therefore releasing most of my scientific ports, along
with a few others, to ports@.  I will continue to maintain ports I am
actively using and those for which I am upstream.
