VuXML entry

There are many known security vulnerabilities in w3m and got CVEs assigned.
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q4/452

The original report is for debian's w3m (one active maintained fork of original
w3m). FreeBSD's w3m should share all these vulnerabilities (I believe so, but I
didn't verify them individually).

Regarding to vuxml entry, I don't know how to write the version range though.
Because currently only debian's fork (https://github.com/tats/w3m) is known
fixed these issues. The original w3m (sf.net/projects/w3m), which FreeBSD uses,
is inactive for years.
