Replace check_archlinux.py by check_archlinux/check_packages.py

The old script had several problems so I decided to do a full rewrite.

The improvements include :

* better and safer parsing of PKGBUILDs
It now uses separate parse_pkgbuilds.sh bash script (inspired from namcap)

* much better performance
A python module for calling vercmp natively, and the algorithm for checking
circular dependencies was greatly improved

* more accurate dependency and provision handling
Now versioned dependencies and provisions are handled correctly.

After building the python module and moving it next to the main script, it
should be possible to use it like this :

For core and extra :
./check_packages.py --abs-tree=/home/abs/rsync/i686 --repos=core,extra
./check_packages.py --abs-tree=/home/abs/rsync/x86_64 --repos=core,extra

For community :
./check_packages.py --abs-tree=/home/abs/rsync/i686 --repos=community
./check_packages.py --abs-tree=/home/abs/rsync/x86_64 --repos=community
