#71523: wget: make metalink support a variant

Keywords: | Port: wget libmetalink
----------------------+------------------------------
As part of the effort to reduce the number of dependencies of `wget`, it
is proposed to make metalink support in `wget` optional via a variant.
Currently, `wget` is the only dependent on `libmetalink`, and according to
[https://ports.macports.org/port/libmetalink/details/ this comment]
metalink support is disabled on most Linux distributions anyway (in `wget`
and `curl`), so I'm hoping that there are no ports that indirectly depend
on `get` having metalink support.
