This variable will disable shebang fixing during massage step. Normally
such fix shouldn't be disabled, but there are packages where it causes
a huge overhead and is not needed anyway.
Packages that are known to be affected by overhead and take long time
for building:
* papirus-icon-theme from x11-packages
As replacement for TERMUX_PKG_QUICK_REBUILD. Running
./build-package.sh -c <package> starts a build for <package>, but does
not extract and patch the source from scratch. Instead it sets up the
build variables and starts from termux_step_make.
When working on a big package that can take hours to build it is
convenient to be able to build until there is an error, then apply
some new patch (manually) to the source, and then continue from where
the build failed.
Use non-IPFS repositories for fetching dependencies when building packages.
This is required at least for CI as gateways seem to block requests due to
either rate limit or restriction for usage by cloud platforms.
In issue https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/6160 I have found
that community repo "its-pointless.github.io" specifies us as maintainer
for its packages. This is NOT TRUE and potentially misleads people using
these packages.
Now TERMUX_PKG_MAINTAINER will contain a default value which is neutral
and not specify maintainer. So all packages now have to override it to
the correct value.

%ci:no-build
Calls termux_git_clone_src if TERMUX_PKG_SRCURL ends with .git, and
termux_download_src_archive and termux_extract_src_archive otherwise.
termux_step_extract_package has been split up into the latter two
functions.
termux_step_post_extract_package has been renamed to
termux_step_post_get_source to reflect these changes.
Specifying Termux org members is more correct as we don't have repo-specific
maintainers for termux-packages.
DEB control field specification doesn't allow to specify multiple people as
package maintainers. Value "Termux members @termux" will be used as default
for that field which can be overridden on per-package basis if needed.

This new variable is extremely useful when iterating on creating a large package,
as otherwise you have to wipe the source and rebuild each time you make a mistake
with the patches or build.sh script.
Simply set TERMUX_PKG_QUICK_REBUILD=true in build.sh if a build fails and then the
TERMUX_PKG_SRCDIR and TERMUX_PKG_BUILDDIR will not be touched when you rebuild,
including that the patches will not be applied again. When you're done iterating,
diff for any new patches, save them, and remove this variable before rebuilding
from scratch, hopefully for the last time. ;)
An example is shown for the giant libllvm package, where other modifications are
also excluded if this variable is set.
termux_step_install_service_scripts is run after
termux_step_post_make_install and loops over the new array
TERMUX_PKG_SERVICE_SCRIPT to add service scripts for termux-services.
The service scripts are usually only a one-liner so we might just as
well define it in a variable like TERMUX_PKG_SERVICE_SCRIPT.
TERMUX_PKG_SERVICE_SCRIPT should be an array on the format
("daemon-name" 'script to execute' "another daemon" 'multi\n line\n script'),
i.e. it should be of even length with name + script where the script
part preferably is within single quotes (to avoid accidental expansion
of for example $HOME).

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.
