Replace "args.logfd" with "pmb.helpers.logging.logfd" in order to avoid
passing "args" to all functions that only use it to write to logfd. This
is the first step to get rid of this args-passed-to-all-functions
pattern in pmbootstrap.
Translate the pmaports channels "stable" to "v20.05" and "stable-next"
to "v21.03", so these have the same channel name as the pmaports.git
branch name.
The original plan was to switch the "stable" channel from the "v20.05"
branch to the "v21.03" branch when the release is done. However, now
that we are close to that, I'm realizing that this would not be useful.
It would lead to conflicts in the dir with locally built packages
(default: ~/.local/var/pmbootstrap/packages/$CHANNEL). And it would make
it awkward to go back to a previous branch (we may name it old-stable
for the time being, but what after that, old-old-stable?).
Use mirrordir_pmos and mirrordir_alpine from channels.cfg to generate
the mirror URLs for postmarketOS and Alpine, which get written to
/etc/apk/repositories and which postmarketOS uses to download the
APKINDEX files.
Remove hardcoded "master" at the end of the postmarketOS mirror and use
mirrordir_pmos instead (which is "master" for the edge channel). Let the
postmarketOS mirror end in a '/' for consistency with the Alpine mirror
in pmb/config/__init__.py.
Remove obsolete --alpine-version. To experiment with a different Alpine
version, one should pass a custom --config-channels from now on.
Ask for release channel and switch pmaports branch to the related branch
defined in channels.cfg.
Store in pmbootstrap.cfg whether the user chose a channel (boolean). If
the user did not choose a channel yet, suggest the recommended channel
from channels.cfg (currently "edge").
