dropping games/doomdata/doom{1,2}

Hi all,

The two other ports Daniel found in his scan for broken HOMEPAGE were
(of course) games/doomdata/doom1 and 2. After some thought, (starting
to drop HOMEPAGE there too) and a hint from Stuart, I ended up
agreeing with him: these ports really don't add much value. PERMIT_*
says "Commercial game data files", so you have to already have the
WADs to be able to build a pkg.

Of course, then you can distribute the pkg to a set of machines for a
nice fragfest .. but you could also distribute the WADs themselves
with ansible or even a simple shell script and some ssh/scp.

So, I propose to remove these two ports and simply keep only the
shareware WAD available as a pkg.

Anyone else have a strong opinion?

Thanks,

Paul
