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.

archivers/gcab: update to 1.5

New Features:
 - New gcab_file_set_bytes() API (!8)
 - meson: Register the gcab executable with meson (!10)

Bugfixes:
 - Fixed MSZIP compression when deflate algorithm would expand (#16)

   Previous versions of gcab can produce "incorrect" archives (when a
   compressed block is larger than its input). They are however
   supported by gcab itself, and we will keep support for it for the
   foreseeble future.

 - gcab: avoid runtime warnings (!7)
 - Fix coverity warnings (!9)

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles

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.
