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.

- emulators/rpcs3: install qt5-wayland and ensure Renderer is Vulkan (default)
- mail/thunderbird: add MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 via environ(7)
- www/chromium: add --ozone-platform=wayland on command line
- www/firefox-esr: add MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 via environ(7)

Drop headers to simplify usage as binary packge from the default repo.

devel/sdl12-compat: add new port

This code is a compatibility layer; it provides a binary and source
compatible API for programs written against SDL 1.2, but it uses SDL 2.0
behind the scenes. If you are writing new code, please target SDL 2.0
directly and do not use this layer.
