Uses/cabal.mk: Rework MASTER_SITES and DISTFILES handling.
This change removes duplicated entries from MASTER_SITES and DISTFILES
variables. Now the MASTER_SITES variable will contain single Hackage URL without
any group for the simplest case and with :_cabal_mk_hackage group in nodefault
case.
This change opens a path to using non-Hackage Cabal repositories
(needed for Cardano) and pulling in .cabal revisions without using patches.
Unfortunately, this change results in a large churn in Haskell ports distinfos.
To make this churn less useless, refresh all Haskell dependencies in all ports.
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.

Uses/cabal.mk: Introduce CABAL_WRAPPER_SCRIPTS variable.
Before this change every Haskell executable was wrapped into a shell script
which was installed into ${PREFIX}/bin while the actual executable was installed
into {PREFIX}/libexec/cabal. This was required to set env variables pointing the
Haskell program to its data files under ${PREFIX}/share. However, not every
Haskell program uses this feature.
Now the shell wrapping is off by default and CABAL_WRAPPER_SCRIPTS knob can be
used to enable it for a given port/executable.
Adjust all Haskell ports affected by this change.

Bump portrevision of all dependent ports to chace shard library version bump
in libffi.
Update LIB_DEPENDS lines where needed to not require a specific version of
libffi.so.
