[pacman-dev] [PATCH] libmakepkg: reproducibilty for python packages

Arch Linux has been setting PYTHONHASHSEED=0 to create deterministic
.pyc files.  After a thorough review by the Arch Security Team, setting
this variable was determined not to generated vulnerable .pyc files, as
when the loader loads the .pyc file and unmarshalls it, the internal
runtime will just populate the unordered data structures and use a new
runtime hash for them.

Despite effectively being a 1 line patch to add "export PYTHONHASHSEED=0",
I decided to add a libmakepkg submodule dedicated to reproducible packages.
This way anybody can drop in mdoules to test easily.

I'd like to include this for pacman-6.0.1.  It is a bit more than I would
usually like to include in a point release, but it is an easy win to for the 
reproducibile builds effort.

Any objections to including it?
