makerepropkg: allow specifying the package in pacman -S format
We now accept: 1) # nothing in which case we'll use the PKGBUILD to retrieve... 2) name, or repo/name in which case we'll use pacman to cache the package and retrieve... 3) a filename Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org>

+A valid target(s) for pacman -S can be specified instead, and makerepropkg will
+download it to the cache if needed. This is mostly useful to specify which
+repository to retrieve from. If no positional arguments are specified, the
+targets will be sourced from the PKGBUILD.

+In either case, the package name will be converted to a filename from the
