mark-broken-anonfile-api.patch

anonfiles.com is closing down and this port can't work without it, so I mark it as broken.

```
After trying endlessly for two years to run a file sharing site with user anonymity we have been tired of handling the extreme volumes of people abusing it and the headaches it has created for us.
Maybe it is hard to understand but after tens of million uploads and many petabytes later all work of handling abuse was automated through all available channels to be fast as possible.
We have auto banned contents of hundreds of thousands files.
Banned file names and also banned specific usage patterns connected to abusive material to the point where we did not care if we accidental delete thousands of false positive in this process.
Even after all this the high volume of abuse will not stop.
This is not the kind of work we imagine when acquiring it and recently our proxy provider shut us down.

This can not continue.
```

Comment 1 Robert Clausecker freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-09-06 01:16:16 UTC 
Instead of BROKEN, this port should be marked as DEPRECATED with an expiry date of when the service shuts down.  When will this take place?

Hi Robert,

I do not know, Anonfiles did not specify such a thing and there is no more information officially. This seems permanently unless someone creates a clone exactly, but this is my opinion, it is not relevant.

Thanks!

Will deprecate and expire in three months.

* Deprecate instead of mark as broken

No need to post a patch.  I already have a change to this effect in my next batch.  However, testing takes a little bit longer than usual due to technical difficulties (my usual test machine is inaccessible).

Oh, sounds good, thanks Robert.
