Bug 296230: www/qt5-webengine: migrate consumers to Qt 6
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=296230



--- Description ---
As you might already know Qt5 project has reached the end of its official
support. There will be no more updates, patches, and security fixes. One of the
most concerning Qt module is WebEngine which based on very outdated Chromium
sources. I'd like to schedule Qt5 WebEngine for removal from the ports tree
before 2026Q4 as a first step of deprecating Qt5 ports.

If you want to keep your ports please migrate them to Qt6.
