I forgot to say that this also addresses, for the future EAPI, the
problem of what to do with missing HOMEPAGE. We still have to find a
solution for that on the EAPI 0, 1 and 2 though since it's a bit of a
big problem when we point to domain squatters.

If it was feasible to just make missing HOMEPAGE a softfail for the
other three it would be even better.
