UEFI EDK2 firmware for bhyve with CSM (16-bit BIOS) support.
From https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore/wiki/UEFI :
"The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, or UEFI, specifies the
firmware layer between an operating system and platform hardware. UEFI
replaces the legacy Basic Input Output System (BIOS)."
EDK2 is the project from TianoCore (https://tianocore.org) that provides
"a modern, feature-rich, cross-platform development environment for the
UEFI and UEFI Platform Initialization (PI) specifications."
It's open source under the BSD-2-Clause-Patent license.
This port provides an EDK2 firmware build for x86_64 with 'CSM' support.
CSM is the Compatibility Support Module, compatibility code to allow
operating systems which expect a 16-bit BIOS, and which don't know
about UEFI, to boot.
This CSM port provides an older version of EDK2 for use with VMs
running operating systems which don't have UEFI support.
===> The following configuration options are available for uefi-edk2-bhyve-csm-0.2_4,1:
DEBUG=off: Build with debugging support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
sysutils/uefi-edk2-bhyve-csm: Mark port deprecated
This port requires an old version of edk2 from 2014, and
needs gcc 4.8 to build. Due to that and the fact that few
users should need BIOS compatibility these days, mark
it deprecated with an expiration date of April 1st, 2024.

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
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.

sysutils/uefi-edk2-bhyve-csm: only depend on gcc48 for building
gcc48 is only required during building, and is not a runtime
dependency.

sysutils/uefi-edk2-bhyve*: Update and migrate to Python 3
o remove dependency on the now obsolete Python 2.7.
o sysutils/uefi-edk2-bhyve now uses the GH/tianocore/edk2 upstream repo.
Use commit 2e1e8c35f3178df95d79da81ac6deec242da74c2 from master on
2021-02-14.
o sysutils/uefi-edk2-bhyve-csm is no longer a slave port, since it
continues to use the GH/freebsd/uefi-edk2 repo.
o sysutils/uefi-edk2-bhyve-devel is no longer required, so delete it.
o Update the port Makefiles to follow the style in sysutils/edk2.

Remove most expired ports that depend on Python 2.7:
Exceptions are:
- mail/mailman, our listservers still use it
- www/chromium, solely because of popular demand,
upstream is (slowly) working on porting it to Python 3
- ports that have actual patches for Python 3 against
them (Cinnamon and a few unrelated other ports)
- llvm70 and qt5-webengine because they seem to have a lot
of dependencies which need further analysis
- sysutils/uefi-edk2-bhyve because bhyve seems to use them
- python2 and python27 themselves
I'm sure there will be complaints, but the nice thing about
a version control system is that we can revert and adjust things.

sysutils/uefi-edk2-bhyve: add slave port with CSM
- add slave port for uefi-edk2-bhyve with CSM enabled.
The CSM option was removed from the main port, and
now the port uses different firmware name based on CSM
setting, so master and slave ports can be installed
simultaneously.
- rename destination path: s/uefi-firmwares/uefi-firmware
because "firmware" is plural already
- Use USE_GCC instead of direct dependency
