This allows us to run an ARM chroot on an x86 box; as the binfmt
runner will set the architecture for us, and the x86
`/usr/bin/setarch` program won't know about the ARM architecture
string.
This involves extending the signature of lib/common.sh's `stat_busy()`,
`lock()`, and `slock()`. The `mesg=$1; shift` in stat_busy even suggests
that this is what was originally intended from it.
In cases where there is no license specified, the file is tagged as
"License: Unspecified". Obviously, that is not ideal, but it
highlights the fact, and I hope that it encourages whoever has the
authority to specify the license to do so.
On that note, to anyone who may have the authority to specify the
license of files in devtools: the current licence of many files is
GPLv2 with no option for later versions; I impore you to re-license
them to have the "or any later version" option.
In order to have an UTF-8 locale in the build root. This is something
normally set on real machines but is not set from our chroots. Meson,
for example, loudly complains when the locale charset is not UTF-8.
I'd like to have C.UTF-8, as most other distributions do. Unfortunately,
it's not part of vanilla glibc; en_US.UTF-8 will have to do.
mkarchroot already creates roots with both en_US.UTF-8 and de_DE.UTF-8,
the latter because builds of gcc (perhaps used to) require it.
Bump the CHROOT_VERSION due to the setting change.
In collaborative builder machine, these scripts are often allowed to become root
via sudo. This patch avoid to prefix them by sudo each time or call su.

This fixes various errors one might encounter when trying to use a
build root or cachedir with whitespace in it.
Note that the cachedir fix is not a complete one, as pacman's output is
unreliable (and not meant for parsing here).

eval is no longer involved in the execution of systemd-nspawn, so we no
longer need a layer of escaping on the arguments.

Now that die() properly forwards arguments to error(), we can expect
that the first arg is a format string and not the entirety of the
output.

Separates the two features of mkarchroot. Provides users of the new
arch-nspawn with the full feature set of systemd-nspawn.
For example, this can be used to bind custom directories into the chroot.
