Fix WWW in parent/child ports
Many of the WWW are overwritten later which means the wrong value
is used. This did not happen before where the children were either
a) just using the pkg-descr from the parents
b) or had their own separate pkg-descr with custom WWW
Use WWW?= in parents when the child's WWW is different.
Children that use the same WWW as the parent can just inherit it,
i.e., the child WWW can be removed.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
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.

Fix build of v4l-utils when libsysinfo is not installed.
v4l-utils doesn't need this dependency, so just remove
the inclusion of <linux/kernel.h>.

Fix build when libv4l is already installed.
Make sure we don't use any old header files installed in ${LOCALBASE}/include.

Upgrade v4l_compat, libv4l and v4l-utils to v1.18.0.
The most important change is that up-to-date V4L header files are now
sourced from the webcamd distribution tarball.

list of changes.

Fix the build of libv4l (and v4l-utils) by requiring iconv. Don't depend
on other ports to provide it. This would break when the NLS option is unset
at a gloval level.
