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:
A bunch of fireflies chase a few baits around the screen, leaving colorful tails which get blown around by the wind. This screensaver is installed as a "hack" for xscreensaver. When built with SDL support, it can also be run standalone.

x11/fireflies: Update to 2.08

Turned out there is a somewhat well-hidden new release available from
GitHub, it wasn't even mentioned on the new project homepage. This
version fixes build issues, it builds without local patches. There's
also at least some activity on the repository, so no need to deprecate
this port right now.

A fixed libgfx is now integrated in the source tree, so use this instead
of the external dependency.

Take maintainership.

x11/fireflies: Deprecate, unmaintained upstream

Upstream is unmaintained for 18 years, needs patches to build, the
bundled libgfx doesn't build at all and the port is unmaintained as
well, therefore deprecate it. Also update WWW/MASTER_SITES to a location
that still exists, just in case someone wants to maintain the port.

Also deprecate graphics/libgfx, it's unmaintained for just as long and
also needs patches to build and x11/fireflies is the last remaining
consumer.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles

Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.

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.
