    Remove x11/lemonbar-xft?

Hi,

https://github.com/krypt-n/bar says
"This repository has been archived by the owner on Jan 15, 2020. It is
now read-only." and "This is a hot mess, do not use".

https://github.com/krypt-n/bar/issues/38 says
"this repository has been dead for ages and I stopped using lemonbar
some years ago. The code only works by accident and the approach is
questionable at best.

While I think that it's great that so many people found some use in my
attempt at making this work, I recommend using a different statusbar
implementation or implementing this again from scratch on top of a newer
lemonbar version."

On the other hand the main processing loop runs after
pledge("stdio", NULL), so I guess there is not much risk.

So just remove x11/lemonbar-xft or still keep it?

Best regards,
Ingo
