bluebunny 9a8530c89b docs: make package versioning more detailed
The old wiki page "Packaging" [1] had more information on when to bump packages,
but it was omitted when migrating to docs.postmarketos.org. Revive the section
and reword the sentences a bit, so that there will be no confusion that the
version of a package should always be bumped.

Pablo Correa Gómez b293a8e354 docs: place the provides section of the packaging guidelines at the end
It is quite massive, and therefore let's put the simpler things
first. If things keep growing, at some point it would make sense to
move it out to a subpage.

Achill Gilgenast e38532b7f7 ci: relax pkgrel changes for packages that don’t have remote sources
Motivation is to avoid unnecessary overhead for MR authors & no reason to
actually use pkgrel for meta-packages.

So instead, recommend pkgver-bumps & pkgrel=0 for metapackages, but don't
block MRs when they bumped the "wrong" one. Just make everyone's life easier.
