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:
Pexpect is a pure Python module for spawning child applications; controlling them; and responding to expected patterns in their output. Pexpect works like Don Libes' Expect. Pexpect allows your script to spawn a child application and control it as if a human were typing commands. Pexpect can be used for automating interactive applications such as ssh, ftp, passwd, telnet, etc. It can be used to a automate setup scripts for duplicating software package installations on different servers. It can be used for automated software testing. Pexpect is in the spirit of Don Libes' Expect, but Pexpect is pure Python. The main features of Pexpect require the pty module in the Python standard library, which is only available on Unix-like systems. Some features -- waiting for patterns from file descriptors or subprocesses -- waiting for patterns from file descriptors or subprocesses.

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.

misc/py-pexpect: fix most of the test cases

A number of test cases included in the pexpect distribution failed on
FreeBSD. The patches included in the commit fix most of these tests.

One of the tests used /bin/bash and long options for the nl command.
Other tests assumed pipe buffers larger than provided by FreeBSD.

3 tests are still failing:

tests/test_replwrap.py::REPLWrapTestCase::test_existing_spawn FAILED

The text received contains bracketed paste escape characters when
a bash version 5.1 or newer is installed. There may be another problem
with this test, though, since it seems to depend on some bash rc file

  There is also a USE_PYTHON=flavors for ports that do not use distutils

[NEW] misc/py3-pexpect: Create Python 3.x version of port

The latest www/py-requests update [1] unbundled its dependencies, now
requiring chardet, idna, urllib3 and certifi from ports.

www/py3-requests port was not tested during QA, which would have highlighted
the need for many new py3-* ports (and their dependencies).

This change creates one of those ports.
