[pve-devel] [PATCH proxmox v5 4/4] apt: check for local POM InRelease as fallback

Add local file fallback in case that the URI starts with `file://`,
which is useful if a POM repo is stored on a medium. This improves
UX by not necessarily needing to apt update to see immediate feedback
in the Repositories UI of pve/pbs.

If the medium is not present, the signature verification will simply
fail.
