    sysutils/shim: Deprecate port
    
    Last commit on the master branch upstream is 10 years ago.
    The port does not build with GCC 14 [1].
    
    Give 1 month for expiration date.
    
    The port might be fixed by switching upstream to
    https://github.com/rhboot/shim (actual upstream is a fork of this repo,
    which is still active) and patching appropriately.
    Still, I believe it makes more sense to deprecate and expire the port
    since:
    - apparently nobody felt the need for a more up to date version of shim;
    - there are important security issues which are most likely not
    addressed by the actual port
    (e.g. https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-qjqj-4cq6-6f2f)
    
    PR:             281248 [1]
