[Dev] [RFC] Source tarballs

Hey,

I'm working on having libremakepkg produce sourceballs.  I was
wondering if anyone had strong opinions about regular-sourceballs
(`--source`) vs all-sourceballs (`--allsource`).  Perhaps having both
with different extensions (what extension would be used other than
`.src.tar.xz`?).

Also, if anyone has opinions about sourceballs appearing anywhere
other than $SRCPOOL (https://repo.parabola.nu/sources/parabola).  I'm
somewhat attracted to the idea of them appearing along side the
package files (`.pkg.tar.xz`) in the repo directories.
