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.

Description:
Straw is a desktop news aggregator for the GNOME environment. Its aim is to be a faster, easier and more accessible way to read news and blogs than the traditional browser. News aggregators read news, weblog or other feeds over the web and aggregate them so the news items are readable from a single place, regardless of their source. The data format aggregators utilize to do their job is called RSS, standing either for Really Simple Syndication or RDF Site Summary, depending on who you ask. At the moment, there are two different, incompatible specifications, with different objectives: RSS 0.9x/RSS 2.0 and RSS 1.0. Straw supports both of them. WWW: http://www.nongnu.org/straw/

Remove the news/straw port.

It was an unspeakably lame effort on my part, and the feedback (including
at least one PR) received doesn't address all the issues that make it
suck.

Someone else can do it properly later, if they like.
