Fix the function, so it does not crash anymore when the
replace_subpkgnames argument is set and a dependency cannot be resolved.
Instead, print a useful warning that shows which pmaport caused the
error (that has always been a pain to figure out), and simply don't
replace the potential subpkgname with the real pkgname, just use the
dependency name as-is.
Resolve annoying crashes in bpo dependency resolving, like this one
(caused by a few linux-* pmaports for bad downstream kernels that depend
on python, not apparent at all from the message):

Previously these two commands would both print the current value:
pmbootstrap config extra_packages
pmbootstrap config extra_packages ''
With this change, the second command will instead set the given config
value to the empty string.
Prevent "pmbootstrap pull" from failing with:
NOTE: your pmaports folder has version 4, but version 6 is required.
ERROR: Run 'pmbootstrap pull' to update your pmaports.

The kconfig check searches the aport with the "linux-" prefix to the
package name passed as argument. This is not working with the full
package name like linux-device-name because it searches a
linux-linux-device-name and fails.
Use the timestamp of .git/FETCH_HEAD in each git repository, to
determine if too much time has passed since the last fetch/pull.
Modify pmb.helpers.git.clone, so FETCH_HEAD is always created if it does
not exist (because "git clone" would not create it).

Extend "pmbootstrap status" with checks for all git repositories,
derived from relevant checks in pmb.helpers.git.pull (using shared
code):
* on official branch
* workdir is clean
* tracking proper remote
* up to date

Add dummy function that only returns ["master"] for now, so we can use it
in the upcoming git checks for "pmbootstrap status". More sophisticated
logic to figure out the branches will be added soon, see project
direction 2020 issue.

Device ports should be under the device/testing/* directory for now.
In the future, devices may be moved to device/{main,community} after
certain preconditions are met.
In the future, device ports will be located in a subdirectory
below device/... (e.g. device/testing/device-...).
Replace all occurrences of device/* with a glob that checks the
subdirectories instead.
Note: To ensure that this always works properly we should also add some
checks that all devices are indeed located under one of the supported
subdirectories (i.e. testing/community/main).
Change the glob for pmaports to <aports>/**/APKBUILD.
This allows using subdirectories for organization outside of device/
as well.
Fix finding subpackages in pmaports, if no binary repo exists (-mp "" makes
pmbootstrap not use a binary packages mirror for pmOS packages). Discovered
with failing "test_depends_SLOW_40s" in bpo.

Add a helper class that provides readline-based tab completion and an
extra optional argument "completion_choices" with possible completion
targets.
While at this, also improve paramters documentation for ask() func.
Add new "pmbootstrap status" command, which does a quick health check
for the work dir. As first health check, verify that the chroots are not
too old. Replace the reminder text at the end of "pmbootstrap init" to
tell users to run "pmbootstrap status" instead of "pmbootstrap zap" once
a day before working with pmbootstrap.

While at it, also remove unnecessary "#!/usr/bin/env python3" in files
that only get imported, and adjust other empty/comment lines in the
beginnings of the files for consistency.
This makes files easier to read, and makes the pmbootstrap codebase more
consistent with the build.postmarketos.org codebase.
At the moment we have a simple subpkgdesc() function that can only
parse "pkgdesc" from subpackages, without support for any variables.
But we have a quite nice variable parser now that can be extended
to work for subpackages.
Simply put this works by:
- Finding the lines that belong to the subpackage function
- Stripping indentation (tab)
- Parsing relevant attributes similar to the apkbuild() function
The "subpackages" in the parsed APKBUILD are replaced by a dict
of subpkgname: {"pkgdesc": "...", "depends": "..."} which are
parsed from the subpackage function (if found).
This makes it possible to get the "depends" of a subpackage.
The gist of this action is upgrading the specified aport to the latest
version. There are implementations for both stable packages (which check
via the release-monitoring.org API for new versions) and git packages
(which check the GitLab/GitHub API for new commits on the main branch).
There's also the possibility to pass --all, --all-stable & --all-git to
the action which either loops through all packages, or just stable or
git packages and upgrades them.
The --dry argument is also respected.
Note, that the implementation does update the variables pkgver, pkgrel
and _commit but it doesn't update the checksums because that would slow
down the process a lot, and is potentially undesirable.
asus-me176c has a Fastboot interface that can be used for flashing,
but in postmarketOS we do not use Android boot images for it.
This is because is it not very practical - the boot partition is
quite small and there is a (custom) EFI bootloader that can boot
directly from any other FAT32 partition.
At the moment the installation process is manual:
1. pmbootstrap install --split to have separated boot (FAT32)
and rootfs images
2. pmbootstrap export
3. Flash boot and rootfs images manually using Fastboot
The "fastboot-bootpart" flasher implements that process in a more
convenient way. When a device uses the "fastboot-bootpart" flasher:
- We generate --split images on "pmbootstrap install" by default.
(This can be disabled using --no-split instead.)
- pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel flashes the raw boot partition
(not an Android boot image) using Fastboot, just like the rootfs.
There are some limitations that could be improved in the future:
- "fastboot-bootpart" is not offered in the device wizard.
I think it is special enough that no-one will be starting with it,
and the difference to normal "fastboot" might be confusing.
- Support "pmbootstrap flasher boot". asus-me176c does not support
"fastboot boot" properly, but theoretically we could still generate
Android boot images to use when booting an image directly.
- At the moment the boot partition image is not regenerated when
using "pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel" (unlike when using Android
boot images). "pmbootstrap install" needs to be run manually first.
At the moment, pmbootstrap updates the kernel and the initfs whenever
using the flasher or export. This is useful, but sometimes you just want
to boot exactly the same kernel several times. In that case, having to wait
several seconds for the (redundant) update to complete is quite annoying.
Add a --no-install option that allows skipping the kernel/initfs update.
Add a shortcut for "git pull --ff-only" in all repositories cloned by
pmbootstrap (currently pmaports and aports_upstream, new pmdevices
repository coming soon).
'pmbootstrap pull' will only update the repositories, if:
* they are on an officially supported branch (e.g. master)
* the history is not conflicting (fast-forward is possible)
* the git workdirs are clean
Otherwise it shows the user a descriptive message about what to do. The
list of supported branches is only "master" right now, and will be
extended in later commits, so we can have a stable branch for pmaports
based on Alpine's releases. More about that in the project direction
2020 issue.
Closes: #1858
Remove a legacy code path from back in the day, where pmaports were in
the same repository as pmbootstrap ([1]). Nowadays, pmaports are always in a
git repository, so this is not necessary anymore. If git fails at this
point, crash hard and don't carry on with an empty string.
This is in preparation for using rev_parse in new code paths, so we
don't need to check the return value of rev_parse.

Rust packaging is new and still a bit weird in Alpine and postmarketOS.
As of writing, we only have one package (squeekboard), and use cargo to
download the source of all dependencies at build time (several git
repositories!) and compile it. Usually, this is a no-go, but at least
until this is resolved properly, let's cache the downloads as suggested
in: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/guide/cargo-home.html

Do not install git in the native chroot and use it from there. Remove the
chown_to_user argument from pmb.helpers.git.clone(), the resulting dir
is now always owned by the user. While at it, refactor the function and
display the clone URL.
Previously we had cloned aports_upstream (from Alpine) with
chown_to_user=False (legacy) and pmaports with chown_to_user=True.
pmb.helpers.git.rev_parse() would only work after chown_to_user=True.
Check if git is installed in "pmbootstrap init", and remove the same
check from rev_parse(). Add a new work dir version, that checks for git
and changes ownership of already checked out aports_upstream to the
host system's user.
When creating a new work dir, create cache_git instead of cache_http.
cache_http is created on demand already, with proper permissions. But
cache_git must be created, otherwise pmb.helpers.mount.bind will create it
as root.
This is in preparation for the "pmbootstrap pull" feature, as it allows
using the host system's git in all new code paths. We will be able to
handle repositories even if they were cloned outside of the work dir
(which we do in a few CI scripts for example).

The APKBUILD reference for "provides" [1] is not worded clearly; but
after reading it over and over again, my understanding is:
* package with provides='foo=1.2' will be automatically installed if
user requests installing "foo"
* package with provides='foo' (without version) will NOT get
automatically installed if user requests installing "foo"
For pmbootstrap, this means, that we must not attempt to build a package
where the pkgname mentioned in provides matches what we are currently
resolving, unless there is an equals sign in the provides entry.
Fixes: #1862, pmaports#404
[1] https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/APKBUILD_Reference#provides says:
"List of package names (and optionally version info) this package
provides.
If package with a version is provided (provides='foo=1.2') apk will
consider it as an alternate name and it will automatically consider the
package for installation by the alternate name, and conflict with other
packages having the same name, or provides.
If version is not provided (provides='foo'), apk will consider it as
virtual package name. Several package with same non-versioned provides
can be installed simultaneously. However, none of them will be installed
by default when requested by the virtual name - instead, error message
is given and user is asked to choose which package providing the virtual
name should be installed."
When running pmbootstrap init, first select device vendor, then device
codename. Also fixed tests for new behavior and added some new ones for
new scenarios.
Packages ending in -dev: just assume that the originating aport has the
same pkgname, except for the -dev at the end. Otherwise we may end up
with the wrong package.
For example, if something depends on plasma-framework-dev, and
plasma-framework is in Alpine, but plasma is in pmaports, then the
regular guess_main() algorithm below would pick plasma instead of
plasma-framework.
Fixes: build.postmarketos.org#52
Remove the recursive check, as it caused an infinite loop. It took a
very long time to complete anyway, even when it worked. The reasoning
for having the recursive check in the first place was, that we would
have device packages with arch=noarch set in the APKBUILD, but which
could only be built for a certain architecture (the device
architecture). Nowadays using arch=noarch in device packages is
forbidden, and we enforce that rule [1]. So the recursive arch check
isn't necessary anymore.

This allows for example for me to call the kconfig check function on the
.config file in my Linux tree: $ pmbootstrap kconfig check --file
.config and it reports me which kconfig options I need to enable.
Download all sources and verify their checksums.
This will be used in pmaports.git CI, if ci:skip-build is set in the
commit message (currently it just skips the build, and we don't test if
the source checksums are valid or not).
Do not crash during "pmbootstrap zap" and other actions when the user
needs to type in the sudo password before running "du" to calculate the
work folder size. We're trying to parse the "du" output as integer, but
of course the 'Sorry, try again' message from sudo is not a valid
integer.
