[arch-projects] [dbscripts] [PATCH] Do not support wildcards in PKGEXT, and standardize on xz compression.

[Eli Schwartz]

This results in unpredictable behavior when used across, variously, bash
[[, POSIX sh [, and find -name

Its usage depended on matching only one result, which is bad practice.

Moreover, it never worked in the first place as

- The majority of alternative compression extensions available in
  makepkg do not use *exactly* two chars.
- It accepted lots of extensions that aren't valid at all, like for
  example .pkg.tar.💩z (which is what I think of using nonstandard
  compression schemes).

Since devtools pushes xz, and every single package currently in the
repos uses xz, and AFAIK we haven't actually used any others, it makes
sense to just assume xz as the only supported PKGEXT.
