pmbootstrap status: rework

Administrator requested to merge rework-pmbootstrap-status-2 into master

Reimplement "pmbootstrap status" to be just a simple and useful status overview. The previous version ran a bunch of checks every time, and would fail on these even if pmaports was used for normal development:

  • "non-official" branch checked out in pmaports
  • pmaports.git is not clean

The information about aports.git was also considered not so useful upon revisiting this command, since it is only used for "pmbootstrap aportgen". Most users don't need this, and if the user runs this command, it will tell if aports.git is outdated.

All of the above made the previous version unpleasant to use and I suspect most people stopped using the command after trying it out a few times and seeing the irrelevant but loud NOK complaints.

New version:

  $ pmbootstrap status
  Channel: edge (pmaports: master_staging_systemd)
  Device:  qemu-amd64 (x86_64, kernel: virt)
  UI:      console
  systemd: no (default for selected UI)

Old version (without --details it only shows NOK checks):

  $ pmbootstrap status --details
