Packaging outside of fakeroot can result in incorrect permissions for
package files. It has been years since fakeroot issues during packaging
were common, so it is safe to enforce fakeroot usage. If using fakeroot
is impossible for some reason, a two line wrapper script will suffice to
fool makepkg.

This gets us close to using the same modeline in all files we run
through Asciidoc, as well as adding the spell and spelllang

The choice of 'en_us' is mainly for consistency and because the body of

A PKGBUILD can have an option check() function for running test suites
between the build() and package() stages. This function is run by
default but can be disabled globally in with "!check" in BUILDENV in
makepkg.conf. This setting can be controlled on an individual package
basis using makepkg's --check and --nocheck flags. Addition dependencies
needed for running the test suite can be specified in the checkdepends
array and are only checked when running the check() function.

For binary packages, the majority of the time used in the debugs symbol
stripping process is the actual stripping of the binaries/libraries and
not the testing of which files to strip. This allows more complete
stripping of packages that install to "non-standard" paths that would
not be generally included in makepkg.conf.
Any performance hit that may be apparent for (_large_) "arch=('any')"
packages can readily be avoided by disabling stripping in the PKGBUILD
options array.

Commit 5fe41df8 broke `make distcheck` pretty badly for the doc directory.
Looking at what this commit was trying to accomplish, it make sense to

on your system.

This patch started as a simple typo fix (pugre instead of purge in two
places), as well as a fix of a test which was using PURGE_TARGETS instead of
$PURGE_TARGETS.
It evolved in a slight handling change of the OPTIONS which have a variable
affecting their behavior (strip STRIP_DIRS, docs DOC_DIRS, zipman MAN_DIRS
and purge PURGE_TARGETS), as well as a clarification in makepkg.conf. Now
when a variable is undefined or empty, the corresponding option will have no
effect. It looked weird to have a fallback when a option is defined but
empty, it seems more natural to not have any fallbacks.
Also re-enable docs by default. It seems arbitrary to delete files from
packages by default, and it would be more vanilla and distro agnostic to
keep them. docs was also the only negated option.

A source entry can now have the following form, to specify a different
filename :
"filename::http://path/to/file"
Of course, the old syntax is still supported :
"http://path/to/file"
And as before, in the second case, the filename used is simply "file".
This fixes FS#11292, because handling multiple source files with the same
name is now possible (just choose a different filename).
But it will also allow to deal much more nicely with funny url like this by
using a sane filename (and unfortunately, there are quite a few) :

DB_COMPRESSION was only used in repo-add and DB_CHECKSUMS was not used
anywhere.
This also removes the dependency on makepkg.conf in repo-add, so repo-add no
longer needs to source makepkg.conf

of the repository file. It does not make sense to have a tar.gz file with a
