Per discussion on D14709, this patch implements Antoine's suggested "closest
version" logic in place of the previous "highest version" when the default
version is not in the range allowed by the port.

from adding lang/python, lang/python2, or lang/python3 as a dependency of
another port. "This is to prevent adding dependencies to meta ports that
are only there to improve the end user experience." - I build my own packages
via poudriere. I want to create my own meta-package which has such packages
as RUN_DEPENDS. It's been suggested that I patch my own copy of the tree.
This patch moves towards tools, not policy.
This patch allows me to set this variable in a poudriere make.conf file:
QA_ENV+= IGNORE_DEPENDS_BLACKLIST="YES"

- This Rust release comes with LLVM 10. Drop the LLVM patches we
no longer need.
- On FreeBSD 13.0 powerpc64 set the elfv2 ABI explicitly in the
Rust target instead of patching LLVM.
- Build LLVM with Ninja. It can shorten the build time slightly.
- Force rebuild all consumers to catch regressions early

This is a major upgrade of the Qt libraries [1], [2].
* People that use upgrading mechanisms with incomplete dependency handling
(portmaster & Co) should make sure to manually remove the existing Qt
packages to guarantee a safe upgrade. Keep in mind, that Qt does not like if
you have an incomplete upgrade.
* This version of Qt drops support for OpenSSL 1.0 -- this means that there
won't be any binary packages for Qt5 provided by the FreeBSD package builders
for FreeBSD 11.x anymore -- and the same for *all* the ports depending on
net/qt5-network [3]. If you cannot upgrade to a more recent FreeBSD
version (12.x, 13.x), you will need to build Qt5 from ports while switching
to an SSL implementation from ports.
Big thanks are due for
* kai@ for updating webengine (also mikael@)
* Felix Palmen for providing LibreSSL support patches
* adridg@ and lbartoletti@ for helping me fix the fallout

Currently, Rust on powerpc64 elfv2 builds with GCC because of past issue with LLVM. However, this issue seems to be resolved now and I can already build Rust with Clang and then build with it other packages, like Firefox.
The problem is that, when using GCC, binutils is getting installed, but when using LLVM, it's not and there is -fno-integrated-as getting passed on ppc64.
Since it's only for the build and users building from ports have binutils installed anyway, add it for everyone.

Tuesday, 9 June 2020.
Plasma 5.19 is out! If we gave alliterative names to Plasma releases, this one
could be "Polished Plasma". The effort developers have put into squashing bugs
and removing annoying papercuts has been immense.
In this release, we have prioritized making Plasma more consistent, correcting
and unifying designs of widgets and desktop elements; worked on giving you more
control over your desktop by adding configuration options to the System
Settings; and improved usability, making Plasma and its components easier to
use and an overall more pleasurable experience.
Read on to discover all the new features and improvements of Plasma 5.19…

GCC 10 releases, switch to that over lang/gcc10-devel when GCC 10 is
requested.
Use lang/gcc11-devel when GCC 11 is requested, but note that this is
absolutely experimental and subject to constant change and likely
breakage over the next half year at least before that release series
enters stabilization. Use at your own risk.
Allow ports to only depend on a component of PyQt for testing.
