I wonder why the change of heart, but apparently Tox website is also promoting qTox
They promote qtox, utox, antidote (ios) and antox (android) on their downloads page. This PR makes it more consistent with the rest of the site like we've done with Matrix, XMPP etc.

https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/net/toxcore/
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/chat/toxcore/
Then if we do that we can't really link to more than one thing:
https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/net/utox/
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/net/toxic
Looks like OpenBSD doesn't have qtox packaged, guess we could link to utox, toxic is a command line client.
