databases/qof: Switch to new upstream
The previous upstream has been unfetchable for quite a while.
There are a number of forks, of which https://github.com/GnoTime/qof
seems to be the most active. It is also the same GH account as
is used by deskutils/gnotime, which is our only in-tree consumer.
Take MAINTAINERship and undeprecate.
MFH: 2025Q4
databases/qof: Deprecate
- Dist files are no longer available as host is no longer resolvable
using multiple different resolver.
- However, no expiry date is set for now because deskutils/gnotime still
needs it. Project mentions dependency [1] but project site is not found [2]

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.

textproc/libxml2: bump all dependencies
This should make sure that all dependent ports will pick
up the new version commited with a13ec21cd733f67a9fc0dc00ab45268bdc236246
Remove libintl.so.9 compatibility link that was added in r374303 to
prevent massive PORTREVISION bumps. Bump dependent ports that have not
been bumped since.
deskutils/gnotime basically contains two ports. Split off one part into
a new port databases/qof:
