patch for port deprecation

The original software author writes on the project homepage:
"Polipo is no longer maintained

When it was first written, Polipo was probably the best HTTP proxy available.
Since then, the web has changed, and HTTP proxies are no longer useful: most
traffic is encrypted, and a web proxy merely acts as a dumb intermediary for
encrypted traffic.

Polipo will no longer be maintained. Here are some alternatives:
* if you need your HTTP traffic to originate from a remote IP address, use a
VPN or a SOCKS5 proxy;
* if you need better caching than your browser provides, use a better browser;
* if you need to share your cache between different user-agents or different
users, you're sadly out of luck;
* if you need HTTP/1.1 pipelining, you're out of luck. Much of the performance
can be recovered by using HTTP/2 or 3, but, sadly, HTTP/2 and 3 require
encryption without supporting opportunistic encryption, which makes them
difficult to deploy in many environments."

So prepare the port for removal.
