Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

Finally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

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.

editors/the: overhaul, resolved many existing issues

When this port was resurrected, none of the non-default options had a
prayer of working.  Requirements were spelled incorrectly and
mis-specified.

First, overhaul the makefile to use modern options helpers.
Then create a Rexx group of options. Rexx must be used, but the original
intent is that it builds with Rexx/Regina by default, but optionally with
Rexx/imc.  Now that this is cleaned it, it was discovered that Rexx/imc
can't build the, so leave the option but mark it broken.

Similarly, it builds with ncurses by default.  This wasn't configured
properly, but now it's been fixed.  A new option group called display
allows the to be built with XCurses.  This was also mis-specified and
