GNU Wget2 is the successor of GNU Wget #185

Hi guys,

I've recently found out about wget2 and decided to have a quick look.

GNU Wget2 is the successor of GNU Wget, a file and recursive website downloader.

Designed and written from scratch it wraps around libwget, that provides the basic functions needed by a web client.

Wget2 works multi-threaded and uses many features to allow fast operation.

In many cases Wget2 downloads much faster than Wget1.x due to HTTP2, HTTP compression, parallel connections and use of If-Modified-Since HTTP header.

On FreeBSD 14 there are two dependencies.

New packages to be INSTALLED: libhsts: 0.1.0 libmicrohttpd: 0.9.77 wget2: 2.1.0

I'm no sure what depends on/requires wget in OPNsense so I'm opening this issue for you to evaluate whether moving to wget2 is a possibility.

Thank you.

@ronin3510 I don't mind adding it to the ports.conf in tools, but I'd appreciate the PR. Closing this to avoid clutter because the ports side looks done.
