[aur-general] RPC POST & Archive Checksums

[Kevin Morris]

Hi AURers,

The v6.0.9 tag has brought in some new features regarding the AUR
and archive checksums:

- archive checksums are now available to be used to verify integrity at
  https://aur.archlinux.org/<archive>.gz.sha256
- RPC now supports POST requests

Archive checksum verification:
    $ curl -sO https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.gz
    $ curl -sO https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.gz.sha256
    $ cksum --check packages.gz.sha256
    packages.gz: OK

RPC POST (experimental):
    $ curl -s -d 'v=5' -d 'type=info' -d 'arg[]=my-special-package' \
        https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc

Thanks to those who requested these features:
- zoorat (archive checksums)
- alad (RPC POST)

Best,
Kevin
