ONLY_FOR_ARCHS_REASON is used as part of the sentence and thus should
start with lower-case letter and not end with a period which is added
by the framework, similar to other knobs like BROKEN, IGNORE, et al.
While here, remove needless quoting, add missing Oxford comma, expand
contractions and jargonisms, use correct spelling for proper names.
Adjust Makefile to follow Porter's Handbook and framework more closely,
also pet portclippy while at it.

Plasma 5.23 was released in October 2021 with many feature refinements
and new modules to complete the desktop experience.
This release adds a week's worth of new translations and fixes from
KDE's contributors. The bugfixes are typically small but important and
include:
* Discover: Flatpak, do not crash when a source is disabled.
* KScreenLocker: Fix sleep and hibernate actions.
* Plasma Desktop: Fix “clear emoji history” action.

https://kde.org/announcements/changelogs/plasma/5/5.23.0-5.23.1
Details:
- Big release with new features and fixes, see:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/v0.23/NEWS
including:
- New plugins for OPENMTP, PIPEWIRE (both as non-default OPTIONS), and
snapcast (later enabled by default, since no new LIB_DEPENDS).
- Support for libnpupnp via UPNP OPTION.
- DSD over PCM playback via native OSS output.
- PROXY requires mpd 0.20 or later now. This might be a regression for
some users' use cases, hence no merge to quarterly yet.
- While one it: Fix search paths for config files when not using the rc
script in the man pages.

25 years ago today, Matthias Ettrich sent an email to the
de.comp.os.linux.misc newsgroup explaining a project he was working
on. The latest and direct result of that email (plus a quarter of a
century of relentless experimentation, development and innovation)
has just landed in KDE’s repositories.
This time around, Plasma renews its looks and, not only do you get a
new wallpaper, but also a gust of fresh air from an updated theme:
Breeze - Blue Ocean. The new Breeze theme makes KDE apps and tools
not only more attractive, but also easier to use both on the desktop
and your phone and tablet.
Of course, looks are not the only you can expect from Plasma 25AE:
extra speed, increased reliability and new features have also found
their way into the app launcher, the software manager, the Wayland
implementation, and most other Plasma tools and utilities.
Read on to find out all the details that make the new Plasma 25AE so
deserving of a celebration [1]

The original distfiles are getting hard to come by for some reason, so
switch to pulling source tarballs directly from GitHub. Replace
patches that apply to generated files with patches that apply to their
sources.

- don't unconditionally enable SSE, it's enable conditionally for amd64 in the main meson.build anyway:
cc: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-msse' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
cc: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-msse2' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
error: unknown FP unit 'sse'
- disable LTO on powerpc64 since it's broken in LLVM.
While here, make sure gtk-update-icon-cache is only on run dependency
where added as a dependency
Enforce gtk3 to depend on gtk-update-icon-cache (previously it was
inheriting the dependency)
