I started running short on disk space for the non-production FreshPorts hosts. This time, I have decided to ask for donations. See my recent blog post which points to my Patreon account.

*/*: update dependency on devel/py-lxml to devel/py-lxml5 (2nd attempt)

This is a follow up to the commit 230fb2661c78, which updated some
ports' dependencies on devel/py-lxml to devel/py-lxml5. It was an
attempt to follow the dependency change of
www/py-beautifulsoup. However, the switch was incomplete and broke
some other ports.

It has turned out that the ports depending on devel/py-lxml (at
version 4.9.3) does not limit their dependencies' upper bound to 4.x
except for one (devel/py-pymaven-patch). So updating them to
devel/py-lxml5 (at version 5.4.0) should cause no harm.

This commit switch dependencies of all the ports (except
devel/py-pymaven-patch) to devel/py-lxml5 avoid potential conflicts.

python: bump all USE_PYTHON=distutils consumers after RUN_DEPENDS removal

Any missed ports, feel free to bump.

Any ports that need setuptools at runtime can have the devel/py-setuptools
manually added back to RUN_DEPENDS, but understand that this practice
is deprecated; see CHANGES for details.
