Adds QCDT templates for Spreadtrum and Exynos SoCs
When "pmbootstrap init" is executed, after the boot image analysis,
if the device is QCDT, then the user is asked about the SoC vendor.
Example:
[HH:MM:SS] SoC vendor (spreadtrum/exynos/other) [other]: exynos
After that, the corresponding template is picked.
Packages like binutils-*, busybox-static-*, gcc-*, grub-efi-*, musl-*
are only needed for the native architecture during cross compilation.
Don't bother with trying to build them for other arches to save time and
to avoid getting stuck frequently at "armv7/binutils-aarch64" etc.
A few people like to use pmbootstrap on aarch64 hosts (e.g. PineBook
Pro), so let's make it available for aarch64 again when we can build
aarch64 packages natively in CI and bpo. (They do get stuck there right
now, because of qemu user emulation.)

Use a deterministic mirror URL instead of CDN for aportgen. Otherwise we
may generate a pmaport that wraps an apk from Alpine (e.g. musl-armv7)
locally with one up-to-date mirror given by the CDN. But then the build
will fail if CDN picks an outdated mirror for CI or BPO.
Some Mediatek devices have a special 512-byte header around the zImage
which must be generated so the device boots.
Support for that exists for a while in postmarketOS but detection was
missing. Add that.
Checkout the aports.git branch for the current channel (e.g.
3.12-stable), before trying to find the APKBUILD.
I had tried to auto-unshallow the git repository earlier, but then the
tags were missing. I decided that it's not worth to provide a migration
path: "pmbootstrap aportgen" is only used by few advanced users (to
maintain the pmaports repo).
Add the Alpine mirrordir (e.g. "edge", "v3.12") to the distfile, so
musl-*.apk files of the same version and arch but from different
mirrordirs do not collide.
Let "abuild checksum" download these apks and generate the checksums,
instead of letting apk download them as side-effect of initializing
foreign arch chroots. The latter did not work anymore, because we would
copy the apk file with a glob that may matches the hash of either mirrordir.
Essentially:
glob.glob(f"{args.work}/cache_apk_{arch}/{subpkgname}-{version}.*.apk")[0]
In the context of the on-device installer, I found that calculating this
hash is not trivial, so let's just avoid it here as well.
While at it, order the imports of musl.py alphabetically.
"Chassis" defines the what kind of device a device is. Currently the
following standardized types exist:
"desktop", "laptop", "convertible", "server", "tablet", "handset",
"watch", "embedded", "vm", "container"
This property is exposed by org.freedesktop.hostname1 (e.g.
openrc-settingsd) and can be used by applications for example to display
appropriate strings instead of "About this phone" for non-phone devices.
Most device ports that are added to pmaports (particularly the testing
category) are not actually "maintained". Many of them are never updated
after the initial contribution. There is little reason to list a
"Maintainer:" if the device package is actually not actively maintained
by that person.
Let's stop generating the Maintainer: line by default.
Instead, contributors should add the lines themselves if they are willing
to (actively) maintain the device package for a longer period of time.
Once they no longer want to maintain the package, the Maintainer:
line should be removed again.
The `mesa-dri-swrast` package was merged into `mesa-dri-gallium` in Alpine.
(See 298e20d04f)
The old alias might be removed in the future, so change the generated APKBUILDs
to depend on `mesa-dri-gallium` instead.
Many of the multi-line strings already contain a new line at the
end of the file. When using .split("\n") this will result in an empty
line at the end of the file that is again followed by a new line.
In other words: we have two new lines at the end, which looks weird.
.rstrip() the whitespace at the end of the string to avoid this.
Have explicit selection of the "native" cross compilation method with a
new "pmb:cross-native" option. Deprecate the implicit pkgname pattern
matching.

Newer kernels require "bison" and "flex", so to easy porting we should
add them to generated APKBUILDs by default. While we are it, clean up
the default set of dependencies a bit:
- installkernel is only needed when using "make zinstall", which
we are not using in downstream_package (it requires special kernel
configuration, so it's not really suitable for downstream...)
- most kernels seem to compile fine without gmp-dev and elfutils-dev,
so they should only be added when needed
- the kernel has its own headers, why do we need linux-headers?
(probably copied from Alpine, but anyway...)
- add openssl-dev since it is needed for building/signing kernel modules
Useful reference: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/changes.html
Although it mentions much more than what is really needed...
Building the QCDT image in build() complicates use of envkernel.sh
- in that case, make is done independently of the APKBUILD, and only
the package() function is run to assemble the kernel package.
Building it entirely in package() allows using envkernel.sh without
having to set up some "post make script" (see
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Compiling_kernels_with_envkernel.sh#Post_make_scripts).
package() might actually fit better in general, since QCDT is only
a special "package" format for (multiple) DTB files at the end :)
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.
Avoid generating an APKBUILD with the following linting issues:
- unnecesary usage of braces: ${_flavor}
- unnecesary usage of braces: ${arch}
- unnecesary usage of braces: ${_commit}
- unnecesary usage of braces: ${_repository}
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).

postmarketOS/pmaports!700 adds a new "deviceinfo_bootimg_dtb_second"
option that places the DTB in the "second" area of the Android boot
image.
Attempt to detect this automatically by checking the extracted
second binary for the FDT magic (0xd00dfeed).
