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) combinatio for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Description:
Python is an interpreted object-oriented programming language, and is often compared to Tcl, Perl or Scheme. This is a meta port to the Python 2.x interpreter and provides symbolic links to bin/python2, bin/pydoc2, bin/idle2 and so on to allow compatibility with minor version agnostic python scripts. Do not depend on this port.

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

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.

- Introduce PYTHON2_DEFAULT_VERSION, the version of the default python2
  binary in $PATH. It can be set in case the user wants to use a
  specific python2 version as a default. Its behaviour is similar
  to the existing PYTHON3_DEFAULT_VERSION and fixes a small issue with
  package builds for different python versions.
- Outline that PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION always takes precedence for a
  specific python major version.
- Update lang/python2 to use PYTHON2_DEFAULT_VERSION and bump the
  PORTREVISION to let the installed port catch up with the change.
- Allow PYTHON3_DEFAULT_VERSION to overriden by a user choice, if
  PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION is not set to a python3 port.

- Move the symlink magic for the default python version into lang/python
