Hi!, ports list!

Reviewing some things with yt-dlp I have seen that in our port tree we
still have a mention of youtube-dl, more specifically the version
www/youtube-dl-2021.12.17p1 (its latest version).

It seemed strange to me, so I decided to install and test it thinking
that it was patched in some way to keep it working. It is not the case.
The port does not work, and as we know the development of youtube-dl is
abandoned, in favor of yt-dlp.

The same thing happens with other ports related to youtube-dl

1) audio/yt-audio: abandoned since 2020, depends on youtube-dl and
therefore does not work.

2) multimedia/py-pafy: abandoned since 2019, same situation as the
previous port.

I CC the maintainers of these packages to see what can be done with
them, but since they don't work, the options I see are limited (fork or
delete).

Any comments?
