move to use v5.36;
tested by me over the last few weeks, and tb@
also fixed a "manual install" bug properly reported by tb@

aside that there should be *no functional change*.
If you see any message like "hey, the number of params is wrong"
it is a fringe case I didn't run into and should be easy to fix.

stop using old-style prototypes except where strictly necessary
(for try/catch)

signatures will be much more powerful once I move to 5.36

forgot the case about find... oops

preliminary work: have the compiled_stemlist be case independent.
This has not useful repercussions so far, as the actual package name
comparison is done with case dependent regexps, but this will allow
searching for "user specs" as case independent in the future,
allowing stuff like
pkg_add graphicsmagick
to work.

Add support for "alpha" suffixes in package versions

We already supported "beta" releases but not "alpha", probably to
discourage people from pushing "alpha-quality" software in the ports
tree.

We have 30 ports with distfiles matching "alpha", and people just work
around the lack of explicit support for "alpha" releases with mixes of
crafted PKGNAME and REVISION/EPOCH. This looks needlessly complicated
and a bit unfair when compared to GH_COMMIT support.

style nit

remove $_ usage that warns under perl 5.18

versionspec stuff belongs in PkgSpec, not PackageName

handle failures from ports tree with more care.
this does avoid infinite loops in case of wrong plists.
necessary since print-plist-with-depends CAN fail...

initial scaffolding for @rcscript: for now, acts like normal files,
but allow absolute pathnames (treat that as an implicit @cwd).

move the empty url message up to PackageRepository, so that we can print
it cleanly.
allow some urls to be empty without warning (e.g., "./" should generally
be allowed to be empty).

allow say and errsay to work without parameters, as it's ways common.
create verbose_system up in state, because it makes sense without verbose.

whitespace cleanup

oops

whitespace fixes

actually order things:
beta < (rc|pre) < release < pl

(fixes speex updates)

add code to check packagename for problems

simplify caching: return $cached->{$_} //= new_value;
remove stats
cache LibSpec as well (1000 c.53.0 !)

pull the signature comparison code into its own file.
add comparison functions to Packagenames that return undef when it matters.

fix to_string

more changes and optimizations: create unique dewey objects, so I can
compare them directly and avoid storing the string.
on typical use through a large update, 2/3 cache hits.

more changes and optimizations: create unique dewey objects, so I can
compare them directly and avoid storing the string.
on typical use through a large update, 2/3 cache hits.

also, remove switch on <,> by writing subclasses. Actually makes things
clearer.

fix pkgspec handling, actually do filter by regexp.
shave some memory off packagenames by not storing non-existent p/v.
cache all packagename construction (happens two times out of 3).

bad espie: use strict/warnings consistently, and fix two nits and two
actual errors !

fix dewey comparison for suffixes (no early return)

synch with my new style search/location changes
It's likely there will be some fallout, but it's getting a bit too large
to keep around.
This does kill a few very old oddities as well.
