lib/Sbuild/ChrootUnshare.pm: create a chroot on-demand using mmdebstrap if an existing tarball cannot be found

Test this by running:

rm ~/.cache/sbuild/*

Then run sbuild in unshare mode. It should automatically create a chroot and build the package in it. The temporary chroot directory is cleaned-up afterwards.

New configuration options:

  • UNSHARE_MMDEBSTRAP_AUTO_CREATE -- automatically create the chroot if none was found, enabled by default
  • UNSHARE_MMDEBSTRAP_EXTRA_ARGS -- additional arguments to mmdebstrap if desired. This is important for ubuntu, for example to add universe and multiverse on top of main
  • UNSHARE_MMDEBSTRAP_KEEP_TARBALL -- whether to write the created tarball into ~/.cache/sbuild/ or not.
  • UNSHARE_MMDEBSTRAP_MAX_AGE -- how old an existing tarball is allowed to be before it gets regenerated, default is 1 week
