Affects: users of USES=nodejs, www/node*, www/npm* and www/yarn* Author: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org Reason:
The current USES=nodejs has the following issues:
- www/node is not the default version while www/node16 is.
- It also means inconsistent naming of node ports.
- www/npm duplicates with www/npm-node16.
- www/yarn duplicates with www/yarn-node16.
The notable changes are introduced to fix the above issues:
- Rewrite Mk/Uses/nodejs.mk.
- Add new LTS version of nodejs (www/node18).
- Add new current version of nodejs (www/node19).
- Change default nodejs version from 16 to 18 (latest LTS),
- Use consistent naming for all supported node versions.
- Convert www/node, www/npm and www/yarn to meta ports.
After these changes:
- All supported node versions are named as node{14,16,18,19}.
- www/node is a meta port which depends on the default version
(e.g. www/node18)
- www/npm is a meta port which depends on the default version
(e.g. www/npm-node18)
- www/yarn is a meta port which depends on the default version
(e.g. www/yarn-node18)

python.mk: rename PYTHON_EXT_SUFFIX to PYTHON_TAG, document, etc
EXT_SUFFIX, according to PEP 3149, refers to the full tag and
extension for compiled extension module objects, eg .cpython-311.so,
.cpython-313t.so, etc. We do not use the correct semantic meaning,
and this usage becomes ambiguous and confusing when tags do not
match between bytecode and compiled extension module objects.
Rename our PYTHON_EXT_SUFFIX to PYTHON_TAG to align with PEP 3147's
specification of a magic tag, which consists of implementation name
and shorthand version only. This is meant for bytecode and other
files containing this tag in their filename that do not depend on
a specific Python ABI for the same version. Chase all existing
consumers.
