This mainly adds support for QtWebEngine and drops QtWebKit along
with some documentation updates.

Remove DEPRECATED/EXPIRATION_DATE.

That saddens me greatly to hear of the authors passing. His son's Douglas Adams reference lifted me up quite a bit, though. They sound like good people.

Very, sorry your bug#275324 fell off my radar. I was just frantically trying to save as many ports as I could before rene@ extended the EXPIRATION_DATE. I'll assign myself to it and close this one.

Please update your patch against the current ports tree, so it applies cleanly and I'll see to it that René Reucher's legacy carries on a bit longer in the FreeBSD ports tree. Hopefully, someone steps up to carry the torch.

Hey Jason, completely understand. I myself was stressing out, and frantically making efforts to extend the life of qmc2 on FreeBSD some days before the initial deadline, a number of things fall by the wayside when this happens.

Thanks for looking at this. I will be sync with main and update my patch.
