Revert "makechrootpkg: Avoid having code floating around outside of a function."
This reverts commit 49088b0860276c664933c2b3e36a2fef714b7a07.
The fundamental intention was flawed and broken, it caused annoying
issues and regressions, and the self-avowed sole purpose of the change
was so that a downstream project could *post-modify the script and
source it as a library*.
That is not okay. You don't wrap non-factorable code in a function
called main() and call it a library. The only possible use for this is
to treat makechrootpkg *internals* as a library, which is not supported.
Downstream projects that wish to use the functionality of makechrootpkg
should treat makepkg as a command with a public API in the form of
command line options. That is kind of how commands of all kinds work,
since forever. That is how all users of makechrootpkg *except for
parabola* use it.
Arguments that "it saves us the cost of fork+exec to bash" are simply
invalid.
