#60314: nginx: each module's distfile name should include the name of the module

-------------------------+------------------------
 We currently have the terrible situation in the nginx port where there are
 a zillion modules in variants, but each module has a separate distfile and
 its filename is just its version number and extension. This obviously
 makes it impossible for anyone browsing the
 [https://distfiles.macports.org/nginx/ directory listing] to know which
 version goes with which module and it was inevitable that there would
 eventually be a version conflict, which
 [changeset:dfacaeae9817403d3020d8a98e704c1f5ecdecc0/macports-ports has now
 happened] and one module's distfile name had to be changed (to a name
 without any extension at all??) to avoid colliding with another module's
 existing distfile.

 Alternately and preferably, [ticket:60313 move each module to its own
 port] and use the github portgroup which will take care of the distfile
 names for you.
