Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

Finally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Description:
Lua is a programming language originally designed for extending applications, but also frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language. Lua combines simple procedural syntax (similar to Pascal) with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, interpreted from bytecodes, and has automatic memory management with garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping. A fundamental concept in the design of Lua is to provide meta-mechanisms for implementing features, instead of providing a host of features directly in the language. For example, although Lua is not a pure object-oriented language, it does provide meta-mechanisms for implementing classes and inheritance. Lua's meta-mechanisms bring an economy of concepts and keep the language small, while allowing the semantics to be extended in unconventional ways. Extensible semantics is a distinguishing feature of Lua. Lua is implemented as a small library of C functions, written in ANSI C, and compiles unmodified in all known platforms. The implementation goals are simplicity, efficiency, portability, and low embedding cost.

Mk/bsd.port.mk: Add __MAKE_CONF=${NONEXISTENT} to WRK_ENV

And remove it from individual ports.  Use WRK_ENV in custom build
commands where necessary.

FreeBSD make(1) includes /usr/share/mk/sys.mk and that includes
/etc/make.conf if it exists.  This happens when you run make in a port
directory but it also happens when the upstream build system uses make.
This commit disables make.conf inclusion in the latter case because
users can define variables like CFLAGS in make.conf that override ports
framework variables and this can cause problems that are difficult to
diagnose.

If there are any build customisations made through make.conf that stop
working because of this commit then they should be made available by the

lang/lua54: update to 5.4.6

Submitter becomes maintainer.

5.4.6 fixes the following bugs in 5.4.4 and 5.4.5:

Lua 5.4.5:
    Changing the signature of 'lua_resetthread' broke ABI.

Lua 5.4.4:
    lua.c assumes that argv has at least one element.
    Lua can generate wrong code when _ENV is <const>.
    Wrong code generation for constants in bitwise operations.
    Lua-stack overflow when C stack overflows while handling an error.
    'lua_settop' may use a pointer to stack invalidated by 'luaF_close'.

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.
