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.

Approved by:		portmgr (tcberner)

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.

Update Mono to 5.10.1.47

This brings a more modern Mono release to the ports tree. After
discussions with others in the Mono community I targeted the mono
5.10.1.47 release which is the latest release in the "Visual Studio"
release channel. This is considered to be the most stable and widely
tested, which makes it a good candidate for us. We may upgrade to 5.12
after additional testing or introduce another Mono package for users who
require testing against a newer release; this has yet to be determined.

- Build from official release tarballs
- Now include BoringSSL per upstream guidelines [1]
- Remove ACCEPTANCE_TESTS, not being updated by upstream
- No long require glib; Mono includes their own replacement
- USES=display:tests required for some tests

lang/mono: update to version 5.2.0.215 (and enhance USES=mono)

Highlights:
 - New Roslyn compiler for C# available
 - Improved support for nuget packages in USES=mono

General:
 - fix pkg-plist: mono now produces '.pdb' debug files instead of '.mdb'
 - bump all dependant ports

USES=mono:
 - properly handle caching of nuget packages
 - add support for multiple feeds for nuget packages
 - add support for nuget dependencies in a separate file
 - add support for paket packages

lang/mono: update to 4.6.1.5.

USES=mono: add nuget argument
 The nuget argument adds support for nuget packages. The nuget
 packages must be specified in the NUGET_DEPENDS variable.

devel/monodevelop: update to 6.1.1.15
 - Switch to github. The other official source is quite a few versions
 behind.
 - Add missing dependencies (fsharp, ssl2, curl)
 - Add required nuget packages
 - Add required external repositories
 - Drop options. Although ./configure offers these flags, there is no
 functional change (i.e. no-op)
 - All patches have been upstreamed (and the one we need is from

It's actually not a GNU configure script, so revert to HAS_CONFIGURE and
use CONFIGURE_ARGS appropriately.

Use GNU_CONFIGURE instead of HAS_CONFIGURE.

Also add the packing list, could be useful.
