Updated version attached of this draft port, built against Qt6.

- Changed DESCR to more clearly state what it does:

Batch processing of jpg, png, tiff (not pnm) files scanned from books,
damaged/faded documents and other images prior to OCR.

Provides page splitting (book scanning), de-skew, crop, rotation,
'binarisation' (background removal), de-speckle, de-warp, defect removal.

A demo video of an earlier version [1] provides more detail.

- DISTNAME -> scantailor-advanced

- Added HOMEPAGE https://scantailor.net (same developer, but site refers 
to earlier version)

- Tidy up Makefile

Passes depends checks and portcheck
Tested on 8.0-beta/amd64 Sun Sep 20 20:24:13 UTC 2026

Testing welcome, is anyone willing to consider this for import?
