Hi!

These patches add a ‘sourceforge’ updater.  Initially I tried
implementing it in terms of ‘latest-html-release’ but that doesn’t
work because of the peculiar URL scheme that SF uses, with “/download”
appended to otherwise nice-looking URLs.

Instead, this one looks at the /latest URL supported by SourceForge.
It’s less efficient than ‘generic-html’ for instance because there’s
no caching and there’s up to three additional HEAD requests performed
to find if there are detached signatures.

The last patch has ‘guix lint -c refresh’ emit warnings when a package
lacks an updater or when its updater doesn’t work.  This should help us
find out which updaters need to be improved or implemented.

Feedback welcome!

Ludo’.

  gnu-maintenance: Add 'sourceforge' updater.
  upstream: 'package-latest-release' tries all the matching updaters.
  lint: refresh: Warn about missing or dysfunctional updaters.

Thanks a lot Ludo for this! Sourceforge updater was wondering why it
didnt exist maybe not possible but you did it!

Also linter to check if updaters are working correctly, really awesome
idea!
