Release or Release.gpg files may be absent if a new .deb file was uploaded
to apt repository recently. We may need to do a multiple attempts in a loop
to retry downloading of these files.
Needed after 99e9ab67b634a89d0be9eca12c4f1cdc091ee6e8, where I have disabled
looping in termux_download but curl doesn't do retries on 404 error. We
want immediate failure only for 404's on source and build tool URLs.
As termux_download.sh retries only on transient errors now, we need a
loop when downloading Release{,.gpg} as they may be temporarily unavailable
when metadata is being rebuilt in repository.

should not accept arbitrary values for marking them "enabled". Instead
they should accept boolean values which makes them easier to handle and
also makes their meaning clear.
build-package.sh should make decision based on variable's value but not on
whether it is set or empty.
%ci:no-build
Partial compatibility for on-device builds.
There is no guarantee that it will be possible to build all available
packages and built packages will have same reliability that cross-compiled
but should solve "self-hosting" problems as much as possible.
* Do not re=download release files.
* Efficiently handle dependencies: do not try to download \*.deb files when they already downloaded, do not try to extract them more than one time.

Release file may not exist too when metadata generation is in progress,
so we may need to do several tries to download file.
If previous build create metadata generation job, the repository will be left in
unsigned state for up to 5-20 seconds. We cannot do anything with this as how
Bintray works. When this case happens, signature checks will fail causing build
failure.
See https://gitlab.com/termux-mirror/termux-packages/-/jobs/175356747.
For now, gpg checks are permanently disabled. When a better solution will be
found, feel free to revert this commit.
