the effect of removing forced dependencies on certain components

to fuse in the code.

xfce4-notifyd configure script automatically adds a dependency on
libcanberra-gtk3 if found on the system.
To have control on this I added a new CANBERRA option (disabled by
default) to the port to control configure behavior and ensure that
the port does not link to it if the option is disabled.

We create software for people, and the KDE Gear releases are the result
of that. Every four months we publish new updates of a large number of
KDE apps and software libraries. We create new programs to meet more of
your needs, implement more features so you can adapt to an ever-changing
digital world, and make our software faster, more efficient, more
reliable. We also port it to more platforms so you can run it on more
devices: your laptop, your game console, your phone, anywhere.

Upstream code tries to downloads iso-codes during build. To avoid
this add a dependency on misc/iso-codes port extract and patch the
code to copy the required files from there.
Replace GL_COMMIT by GL_TAGNAME in all ports. The new GL_TAGNAME is
backwards-compatible (accepting any commit hash as before), but also
understands an actual tag name. Moving to tag names where appropriate is
left to individual ports' maintainers.
