patch to update port from 0.9.5_4 to 0.9.5_5

This patch updates the MASTER_SITE URL.

While here, also fix the original author's name in the pkg-descr file.

Note to committer: I am not sure if MASTER_SITE LOCAL/pav is still current or needed.  If not, please remove it too.

We typically do not list individual people as authors in port descriptions, esp. if generic WWW is (or can be) provided.

> not sure if MASTER_SITE LOCAL/pav is still current or needed.
Yes, as long as it carries the current distfile (and it does), it can/should be kept.

Okay, please undo the change to the pkg-descr file then.

It seems that the original author did use the name "Matt" according to his own man page.  That name has been in the pkg-descr file for years/decades.

I added the (now-broken) URL of his original web site, and I added a link to my own page about it: you can keep or remove them as you feel fit.  

> Yes, as long as it carries the current distfile (and it does), it can/should be kept.

Okay.  I see it is downloading from LOCAL/pav now.  It didn't seem to work when I tried the other day.

    net/pload: the port had been slightly improved (+)

    - Update MASTER_SITES (chase HTTP 302 redirection)
    - Remove author attribution from the port description
      (it was also not quite accurate) and point WWW line
      to a working site instead
