devel/libkiwix*: Support ICU 76.1

This change is similar to what was done to devel/libzim.

It allows to build against ICU 76.1, without disturbing the build
against older versions (e.g., 74.2).

This is a maintainer update (olce.freebsd.ports@certner.fr).

devel/libkiwix13: Fetch from official site; Enable tests

Fetch from the official site instead of Github.

Also, stop downloading Mustache by hand and rely on devel/mustache.

While here, remove a useless link flag for 'libz.so'.

While here, revise the description.

devel/libkiwix13: New port for libkiwix 13

This port is assumed to be temporary, as the reason for its creation is
that kiwix-tools 3.7.0, the latest released version at time of this
writing, relies on libkiwix with major version 13, whereas
devel/libkiwix was updated too soon to 14.

An alternative would be to bump PORTEPOCH for libkiwix, but such bumps
are forever and should be reserved for changes in version numbering as
much as possible.
