databases/db5: nuke SQL option and abandon port

Security:	CVE-2019-8457

The SQL option is vulnerable, and since this feature was always marked
experimental, nuke it, and backport to 2022Q1.
If someone needs the SQL interface in spite of its vulnerability,
please use: pkg lock -y db5.

MFH:		2022Q1

I am marking the port for expiry and abandoning it because I will no
longer spend the increasing efforts to play hide and seek with Oracle's
patches, or backport sometimes bigger Linux distro patches (Red Hat,
Debian, who else?), or otherwise put up with how they have changed
availability of patches, documentation, or important information.

FOR db5 USERS:

One option is to upgrade to db18, but note that db versions 6 and 18
are under the Affero GNU GPL v3 license, with implications for,
among others, software-as-a-service, and distributability of packages
linking against db.  This is in stark contrast with db5's Sleepycat license.

POTENTIAL MAINTAINERS:

If someone wants to adopt this, review all the various patches in the
major other BSD distros and Linux distros, check if their patches can be
licensed under a sufficiently liberal license (ideally, MIT-like or
Sleepycat) and see what you need to import.

Modernize Makefile and chase new requisites.

* Modernize Makefile [1].

* The Tcl changes suggested in the PR [1] are applied but commented out
  because the code causes scary "warning: the value of the size argument
  in 'strncat' is too large, might lead to a buffer overflow
  [-Wstrncat-size]" in lang/tcl/tcl_*.c on FreeBSD 10.3 amd64.

* Other than what is suggested in the PR,
  refuse to add the TCL option, and leave --disable-tcl in.

* JAVA option: restrict to Java versions 1.6 and 1.7 because the port
  fails to compile with JAVA option enabled and openjdk8
  (IllegalArgument exception).

portlint cleanups:
* Set PATCH_WRKSRC, and refresh patches with "make makepatch".
* Use Space (not HTab) after WWW: tag in pkg-descr
* Drop "The" from COMMENT.

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17076_02/html/installation/changelog_5_2.html

- Remove databases/db51 (no hard dependencies), users having set db51
  manually for their ports need to set db5 and rebuild dependent ports.

- Add OPTIONS for localization (default off) and crypto (default on).

- Install libdb*-5.so symlinks into $PREFIX/lib

- If WITH_DEBUG is set, pass --enable-umrw to pacify valgrind, and
  --enable-debug.
