I found this feature confusing, and the documentation wasn't any help.
It was pointed out to me on IRC that validpgpkeys expects full
fingerprints, and won't accept shorter forms. This makes the
documentation insufficient, and the variable name itself misleading.
This patch bolsters the documentation to explain more about what the
contents should be, and implements suffix matching to allow matching on
shorters fingerprint suffices. Now, when makepkg tells you that a key
ID isn't valid, it's sufficient to manually check the key ID against
the known good ID, and add it as is to validpgpkeys.

Just the same as the "untagged" sources, multiple integrity algorithms
are supported. The manpage is updated to reflect support for these
suffices.
This commit also refactors download_sources slightly:
1) to use the otherwise preferred convention of lowercase local variable
names, and to make the handling of $1 more clear.
2) rename the "fast" parameter to "novcs", to make it more clear what
this token does.
3) add a new possible token "allarch" to ensure that download_sources
will fetch all sources, for all architectures.
The example for human-readable values must not contain a space between
the value and the unit; otherwise, pkgdelta will not recognize the
command options and will error out.
In prose, however, there should be a space between the value and the
unit.

This introduces support for architecture-specific conflicts, depends,
optdepends, makedepends, replaces, and conflicts by appending "_$CARCH"
to the array name. For example, in the global section:
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
depends=('foo')
depends_x86_64=('bar')
This will generate depends of 'foo' and 'bar' on x86_64, but only 'foo'
on i686. Moreover, this is supported in the package functions with the
same heuristics as the generic names, e.g.
...
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
depends=('foo')
...
package_somepkg() {
depends_x86_64=('bar')
...
}
Again, will cause x86_64 to have depends of 'foo' and 'bar', but only
'foo' for i686.
Dependencies are now handled with --nobuild unless specificially skipped.
Using --verifysource will skip dependency checks unless --syncdeps is
specified.

We expect all source file to lie in $startdir. However, using
"makepkg -p <buildscript>" can currently allows people to specify buildscripts
in other directories. This results in confusion about where other sources
should lie (in startdir or in the directory that the buildscript is in).
Explicitly disable using -p for files in other directories to avoid this issue.

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.

1. Packagers who want to test the package() function, i.e. to check the content
of the pkg/ folder.
2. Developers who want to check how the packaged version of a program looks, in
other words how the pkg/ folder looks.
3. For users of systems with no port tree, makepkg can ease package creation.
However the resulting archive of the whole makepkg process is often useless.
For all situations, makepkg will usually be called several times. But no archive
(the final package) is needed in any cases. The archive creation ends up being a
waste of time and resource, especially for big applications and slow machines.
Since this option aborts the process prematurely, it behaves like the
-o,--nobuild option, i.e. any other option acting on later stages in the process
will be automatically discarded. For --noarchive, it means that in
$ makepkg --noarchive --install
the '--install' option does not do anything.
