deskutils/notes: update the port to the latest version 2.3.1

- Point WWW to the open-source version, old page is now about
  "Daino Notes" closed-source derivative by the same author
- Add two missing run-time dependencies, amend USE_XORG list
- Low-resolution icons were removed upstream for aesthetic
  reasons, but why SVG icon had also been removed is unclear

deskutils/notes: the port had been updated to version 2.1.0

- Builds itself with CMake now and has installation routine
- Drop our custom auto-update disabling patches as this is
  one of the program's standard features now
- Explicitly specify desired Qt version so it won't pick up
  the wrong one accidentally

deskutils/notes: improve FreeBSD support and disable self-updating

Perhaps it makes sense when software is built by user and installed
locally, but for the software installed normally all updates should
be handled by the system package manager.
