The new behavior is basically this:
1) Local repos are installed same as before.
2) Multilib configs are now handled only if they exist. They follow
a naming system repos-{local,remote}-ARCH-multilib.conf.
3) Remote repo files follow naming repos-remote-ARCH.conf. If that
does not exist, repos-remote.conf or repos-remote-musl.conf is
used instead (fallback).
4) Cross follows the same behavior, just without multilib.

This patchset contains multiple changes to xbps-src and
its required package "base-chroot" for building packages
via chroot.
- moved xbps.d(5) conf files to `etc/xbps.d`.
- renamed xbps.d(5) repository files to `etc/xbps.d/repos-{local,remote}*`.
- do not set `--repository` to any xbps command that supports it,
xbps-src now simply populates `rootdir/etc/xbps.d` with correct
settings (taking care of CHROOT_READY/IN_CHROOT).
- Unless `-C` is set (to preserve builddir/destdir/autodeps), when
entering to the chroot (if CHROOT_READY is set), xbps-src will
clean up the masterdir and then perform a system update to always
use a constant set of packages for that exact date.
- Improved some normal/error msgs.
- Includes support for `xbps>=0.58`.
- common/hooks: switch to bsdtar.
- base-chroot:
- base-chroot-musl is gone, now unified for glibc/musl.
- deps removed: gettext, mpfr, readline, texinfo, which, xz.
- deps changed: tar -> bsdtar.
Effectively this reduces dependencies in `base-chroot`, makes
it unified for musl and glibc, switches xbps-src to use `bsdtar`
rather than GNU `tar` and `xz`, gets rid of useless host dependencies
like GNU gettext, texinfo, etc.
I've been testing these changes for 1 month or so already,
I was able to build from scratch `base-system` for both native
and multiple targets, i.e `./xbps-src -a target -Nt pkg base-system`
