[pve-devel] [PATCH installer 0/5] chroot, assistant: replace clap with pico-args

[Christoph Heiss]

This series first and foremost replaces clap, which is used by
proxmox-chroot and proxmox-auto-install-assistant for parsing CLI
arguments.

clap likes to completely overhaul its API with ~each major release,
which causes quite some churn. It is also quite heavyweight, both in
compile time and binary size impact (see patches #2 & #3 for details on
that). 

We already use pico-args in other tools such as pmg-log-tracker and
vma-to-pbs. Thomas also favored removing clap in the past, most recently
in [0].

Patches #4 through #5 are two other small cleanups & optimizations, esp.
#4 dropping another big dependency (regex) at least for one tool.
