The IBM POWER9 Functional Simulator is a simulation environment developed by
IBM. It is designed to provide enough POWER9 processor complex functionality to
allow the entire software stack to execute, including loading, booting and
running a little endian Linux environment. The intent for this tool is to
educate, enable new application development, and to facilitate porting of
existing Linux applications to the POWER9 architecture. While the IBM POWER9
Functional Simulator serves as a full instruction set simulator for the POWER9
processor, it may not model all aspects of the IBM Power Systems POWER9 hardware
and thus may not exactly reflect the behavior of the POWER9 hardware.
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/linux-power9-functional-sim: New port
This is a full system simulator for IBM's POWER9 and is sufficent to run
FreeBSD 12.0 or POWER9BSD work in progress. Ask in #powerpc64 on efnet for
usage help for now.
