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:
The ancestor of all 4x (expand/explore/exploit/exterminate) games. VMS-Empire is a simulation of a full-scale war between two emperors, the computer and you. Naturally, there is only room for one, so the object of the game is to destroy the other. The computer plays by the same rules that you do. This game is the ancestor of all the multiplayer 4X simulations out there, including Civilization and Master of Orion.

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.

Extend expiration of ports broken with -fno-common

Extend the expiration of unmaintained leaf ports that are broken with
-fno-common and previously had a short expiration date.  The new date is set
to 2021-04-01, meaning the ports will be in the 2021Q2 branch, giving people
until 2021-06-30 (10 months from now) to fix issues.
Improve the wording of the deprecation message, mentioning both llvm 11 and
-fno-common.
Bump portrevision to force reinstall.  This way the warning message about
deprecation will be displayed to users installing or reinstalling the
software.
