libfetch: remove support for FTP

Ariadne Conill authored 10 months ago

As discussed in #10749, I suggested that we remove FTP support to reduce possible attack surface
as there are no Alpine mirrors which use FTP.

There are also no known mirrors of any other apk-using distribution which use FTP, so I believe
we are safe to remove support for FTP-based mirrors in apk-tools 3.

apk-tools

Alpine Package Keeper (apk) is a package manager originally built for Alpine Linux, but now used by several other distributions as well.

Building

The preferred build system for building apk-tools is Meson:

# meson setup build --prefix=/
# meson compile -C build
# meson install -C build

While there is a legacy Makefile-based system available, it only works for musl-linux targets, and will be dropped in the apk-tools 3.0 release.

Documentation

Online documentation is available in the doc/ directory in the form of man pages.

The apk(8) man page provides a basic overview of the package management system.
