Split x11-fonts/noto-basic into separate ports so they can be updated
separately. Keep noto-basic as a metaport but replace dependencies on
it with dependencies on individual fonts as needed.
Adjust x11-fonts/noto-extra to resolve conflicts for now. Individual
fonts can be split from this port later.
Let x11-fonts/noto-emoji install the monochrome Noto Emoji font and
create a new port x11-fonts/noto-color-emoji for Noto Color Emoji.
Add the new ports to x11-fonts/noto metaport and make Noto Sans and
Noto Serif non-optional because script-specific fonts depend on them.
Upstream does not provide useful tarballs so we create our own and host
them on LOCAL. The new ports have a "make noto-fetch" target that
creates a tarball in DISTDIR.
List of updates:
Noto Color Emoji 2.042
Noto Emoji 2.001
Noto Sans 2.013
Noto Sans Mono 2.014
Noto Sans Symbols 2.003
Noto Sans Symbols 2 2.008
Noto Serif 2.013

PulseAudio system tray, replacement for deprecated padevchooser.
Add several options to disable unneeded features; unfortunately,
AppIndicator support currently implies GTK v3 (the default one).

This is not the newest upstream version, but audio/mixxx 2.4.0
(latest upstream) specifically requires this version for the
respective functionality. Similar arrangement to editors/libreoffice
pegging specific versions of certain dependencies.
