[build2] Arch Linux - build2-toolchain added in AUR

[Filipe Verri]

Hello again,

I've split the packages into:
- libbutl
- build2 (depends on libbutl)
- libbpkg (depends on libbutl)
- bpkg (depends on libbpkg)

I've decided to link against libodb and libodb-sqlite statically since AUR
provides only version 2.4 and not 2.5.

My private keys are on my laptop, so I will upload the packages latter in
AUR.
