sift has a slightly different focus than most other grep alternatives. Code
search, log search / digital forensics and data processing are the main use
cases, but the primary goal is to provide safe defaults and to make it easily
configurable for a specific use case. Among the features are:
- Stable releases, cross platform support
- Safe defaults: sift searches everywhere if not configured otherwise
- Complete & working .gitignore support
- High performance for many uses cases
- Support for adding custom file types to narrow down searches
- Multiline support
- Support for big files: >50GB, >5,000,000,000 lines and >5,000,000,000 matches

go: Bump go124-dependent ports
Earlier I bumped the default Go to 1.24. Ports that specify a lower
version will still build with those lower version (for now), so they
don't need a bumping. Instead I'm bumping anything that (now) has go124
as a dependency.
textproc/sift: fix build on riscv64
Bump golang.org/x/sys dependency to a version new enough
to support riscv64-freebsd.

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.
