NOTEWORTHY CHANGES
* The llvm package has been changed to be provided by a versioned llvm<X> package, which is presently llvm4;
* The -grsec kernel-related packages have been renamed to -hardened;
DEVELOPMENT-RELATED CHANGES
* MD5 and SHA-1 hashes have been removed from APKBUILDs, being obsoleted by SHA-512;
* set -e is now implied in APKBUILDs, automatically failing the build upon unhandled failing commands;
* A check() function has been added to APKBUILDs that allows packages to run test suites after build(), ensuring no regressions have occurred. This has been implemented for a number of packages, and policy onward will be to have them either be present or explicitly opted-out of with good reasoning;
