shells/ksh2020: Deprecate unmaintained ksh2020
ksh93 modernization development, which was halted in 2020, resulted in the att/ast team saving the development in their ksh2020 branch and reverting the mainline back to ksh93. Since the the ksh2020 developers have forked ksh93 and resumed ksh2020 development under the ksh93 account in their ksh repository. Therefore the now "abandonware" ksh2020 ports is to be removed in favour of the shells/ksh or shells/ksh-devel ports. The shells/ksh port tracks releases while shells/ksh-devel tracks development. shells/ksh93 is available for legacy applications that require the original AT&T KSH93. The "co-existence" options of each of these ports allow users to install shells/ksh (and/or ksh-devel) with shells/ksh93 for users who wish to use the currently developed ksh93 but still need the legacy AT&T ksh93 due to incompatibilties between the old and the new. (Note: The latest CDE-25 develpment has switched to using the new ksh93 shell.)
