makepkg: remove subshelling from check_option and friends
Instead of creating a subshell for each of these checks (of which there
are many), pass in an expected value and make the check_* function do
the comparison for us, returning 0 (match), 1, (mismatch), or 127 (not
found).
For a measureable benefit, I tested this on a fairly simple package,
perl-term-readkey, and counted the number of clone(2) syscalls to try
and isolate those generated by makepkg itself, rather than the user
defined functions. Results as shown below:
336 before
180 after
So, roughly a 50% reduction, which makes sense given that a single
check_option() call could be up to 3 subprocesses in total.
