This is a flat buffers inspired format that allows fast
mmaped access to the data with low overhead, signature support
and relatively good forward support.
On some systems the `/var/` dir is mounted in a tmpfs which is reseted
after each reboot. For that reason no post-install script can handle the
creation of the cache dir at `/var/cache/apk`.
Check on database opnening if the folder is available, if not create it.

It used to be relative to the --root specified root, but that
causes issues with relative command line filenames and is unintuitive.
Update documentation accordingly. Fixes#10702.
This uses some macro trickery to make sure that there's one-to-one
mapping with the option index enum and the descriptor. The down
side is that enum's are generated via #define's and editors might
not pick them up for auto completion, but the benefits are more:
it's no longer possible have mismatching enum value and descriptor
index, and the amount of source code lines is less.
This greatly helps with memory management on applications that
may want to daemonize and open/close database several times.
Also the lifetime and "owner" of memory for all data is now
explicitly bound to owning struct apk_database, which might
be helpful when writing language bindings. As side effect, the
interned "atoms" are unique only within what apk_database, so
comparing packages from different apk_database may not work
as expected.
Fixes#10697
When creating an index apk warns if a dependency is missing a provider.
However when using a multi-arch repository, it's not an error that
a certain architecture is missing a dependency because that dependency
could be in an other architecture. Since apk index doesn't know about
this, add an argument to disable that warning.
Maintainer note: rebased for new option handling, and minor stylistic
adjustments.

This reduces the number of relocations on PIE binaries, and also
reduces the executable size. Parsing of the options is slightly
sped up as only the exact matching option group parser is called.
This creates main help like:

This apk has coffee making abilities.

And applet specific help like:
--
usage: apk add [<OPTIONS>...] PACKAGES...
Description:
apk add adds the requested packages to WORLD and installs (or upgrades)
them if not already present, ensuring all dependencies are met.
Options:
--initdb Initialize a new package database
-l, --latest Disables normal heuristics for choosing which repository to install a
-u, --upgrade When adding packages which are already installed, upgrade them rather
-t, --virtual NAME
Instead of adding the specified packages to WORLD, create a new
--no-chown Do not change file owner or group
--
If apk is run as a non-root user, it's not possible to chown files.
Maintainers note: minor wording changes on commit log and man page.

Some email addresses was underlined and some wasn't. Remove underline
from all email addresses to be consistent. The reason for chosing
no underline is that the email address isn't clickable and to be
consistent with the output from git log.
