Draft: Use kde-builder to create PKGBUILDs and have paru build them

Lasath Fernando requested to merge fernando/kde-linux:work/lasath/banana-aur into master

This one is designed to be run in a gitlab pipeline with @sitter's runners.

It generates PKGBUILDs by using kde-builder --query. There are some improvements to be made in kde-builder that will in turn improve this script. But this serves as a good starting point.

Right now it builds those PKGBUILDs immediately to create an arch package per kde-builder module (plus an extra one with a -debug suffix for ones that had debug symbols to be stripped).

In the future (when kde-builder is ready), I think the PKGBUILD generation step should be moved to a pipeline on the sysadmin/repo-metadata repo and push the PKGBUILDs to the actual AUR so that regular Arch Linux users can also benefit from well maintained KDE git packages.
