Shar of new port "www/castor"

Castor is an actively developed graphical browser for text-based protocols
written in Rust that uses the GTK+ toolkit. It currently supports the Gemini,
Gopher and Finger protocols.

Gemini is a modern take on creating a text-based protocol that lives up to
today's standards technically (e.g. it uses TLS). It aims to provide a "middle
ground" between the bare-bones Gopher and the bloated WWW but leaning towards
the former.

-----

The port builds and passes "synth test www/castor" without any findings.
Portlint is happy, too, except for the definition of DISTFILES. The latter is
necessary, however, since otherwise the main distfile gets discarded. Solution
proposed by kevans (thanks again!).
