Often I find myself confused and subsequently frustrated by the
behaviour of --fork-alpine as usually I apply whatever changes I want to
the aports package before forking. This is due to that in the proper
aports repo I can leverage the full power of git and apply patches or
revert commits, whereas after the package has been forked to pmaports
the context git needs to do this is lost.
To fix that, this commit introduces --fork-alpine-retain-branch which
works the same way as --fork-alpine except it doesn't change the aports
branch to match the current channel.
Repurposing argcomplete as a boolean telling whether the module
argcomplete was found results in a variable with two distinct purposes
and types, which is bad practice and confuses Mypy. As such, don't
assign False to argcomplete if the module is not found and instead just
check for whether it exists in sys.modules to determine whether it was
imported successfully.
I zap chroots a lot, since I've found that it often "fixes" a lot of
weird issues that come about if you have stale chroots laying around.
So a common pattern I do is "pmb zap && pmb install ...". Having an
option to pmb install let's me simplify this.

It can be quite useful to check the configs for a list of packages, so
adjust the argument parsing code to support that.

With this code path, pmbootstrap would start a distccd + sshd in the
native chroot, and configure it so it runs the cross compiler. The
foreign arch chroots would then call this cross compiler from localhost
by calling the distcc client instead of gcc.
This code has been obsoleted by the much simpler crossdirect in 2019.
Let's finally remove it.

A long time ago we renamed the flash_system action into flash_rootfs.
Since we still kept some variables around, it's finally time to clean
that up.
Keep backwards compatibility for now since we cannot update pmaports at
the same time since the new deviceinfo names won't be supported in older
pmbootstrap versions.

Always set GOCACHE during build and let it point to pmbootstrap's work
dir. This has a similar effect as using ccache for C/C++.
Set GOMODCACHE conditionally: this is for caching the go modules (git
repositories) that get cloned during a build if they are not bundled
with the source. Usually APKBUILDs should cache them, but when using
pmbootstrap build --src, they would get downloaded over and over again.
Set GOMODCACHE automatically for --src and allow enabling/disabling this
manually with new --go-mod-cache / --no-go-mod-cache.
This speeds up multiple iterations of building the same package
significantly. I'm using it for:
$ pmbootstrap build postmarketos-mkinitfs --src=...
I've verified that using the same GOCACHE dir for multiple architectures
doesn't result in build artifacts for the wrong arch getting used.

Add a new command that makes running CI scripts easy. The user goes to
the git repository of choice, which has CI scripts written in a certain
format, and then runs 'pmbootstrap ci' to get an interactive selection
of which of the available scripts to run (or "all"). Specifying one or
multiple scripts on the command-line is also possible, e.g.
$ pmbootstrap ci flake8
$ pmbootstrap ci shellcheck flake8 pytest
$ pmbootstrap ci --all
pmbootstrap then either runs the selected scripts in a chroot (and
installs dependencies as defined at the beginning of the CI scripts), or
natively (with checks inside the scripts for having dependencies
installed). Running natively is needed for .ci/pytest.sh in this
pmbootstrap.git repository, as pmbootstrap can't run inside pmbootstrap.
Running natively or in chroot is defined in an "# Options: " comment
inside the script file.
Documentation for this command and how script files look like:

Add the new option that will be mandatory for all devices in
community/main category. This is just a combination of anbox + iwd +
nftables + containers + zram + netboot.
While the existing options could be removed we're keeping it for now
given that also some devices with downstream kernel might find some
options useful.
pmbootstrap netboot command exposes the generated vendor-codename.img
rootfs through nbd interface so that device can mount it and boot
postmarketOS without having any storage medium at all.

Replace "args.cache" with a global variable in order to
avoid passing "args" to all functions. This is a step to get rid of this
args-passed-to-all-functions pattern in pmbootstrap.
So I can finally run `pmbootstrap install --password 147147` and go and
make a cup of tea.
Based on MR 1919.

Support full linux-* package names in argument completion for
"pmbootstrap kconfig ..." command-lines and get rid of related PROTIP
messages:
PROTIP: You can simply do 'pmbootstrap kconfig check postmarketos-allwinner'
This improves consistency, as in other places we expect the user to
supply full package names as well (e.g. pmbootstrap build).
When running pmbootstrap on debian bullseye with the distro's
python3-argcomplete 1.8 from 2017, tab completion was broken. After
disabling stderr redirect to /dev/null, the error appeared:
TypeError: package_completer() missing 1 required positional argument: 'parser'
Support this ancient version of argcomplete too by setting None as
default value for parser (we don't use it anyway).

iwd seems like a promising alternative to wpa_supplicant. It uses crypto
implementations from the kernel, so let's make kconfig check aware of
the options it needs.
Replace "args.arch_native" with the direct function call in order to
avoid passing "args" to all functions. This is a step to get rid of this
args-passed-to-all-functions pattern in pmbootstrap.
With this option you can run
$ pmbootstrap kconfig migrate --arch <arch> linux-postmarketos-xxx-xxx
to perform safe kconfig upgrades between kernel releases.
"make oldconfig" will ask question for every new/renamed kconfig option,
so you have no chance to miss anything.
