Remove most expired ports that depend on Python 2.7:
Exceptions are:
- mail/mailman, our listservers still use it
- www/chromium, solely because of popular demand,
upstream is (slowly) working on porting it to Python 3
- ports that have actual patches for Python 3 against
them (Cinnamon and a few unrelated other ports)
- llvm70 and qt5-webengine because they seem to have a lot
of dependencies which need further analysis
- sysutils/uefi-edk2-bhyve because bhyve seems to use them
- python2 and python27 themselves
I'm sure there will be complaints, but the nice thing about
a version control system is that we can revert and adjust things.

add devel/py-backports - namespace shim for Python backports
Currently, all py-backports.* ports conflict with each other
over a file that has the same contents.
This creates a port that installs the shared file and py-backports.*
ports should depend on this one and remove the shared file from their
own pkg-plist. It's the same approach as the one taken by OpenBSD.
Some ports are already converted as an example:
- security/py-backports.ssl_match_hostname
- devel/py-backports.functools_lru_cache
- devel/py-backports.shutil_get_terminal_size
The last two conversions and the fix to work with FLAVORS were submitted
by antoine. Thank you!
