makepkg: add optional package function
This patch allows us to split the building and packaging stages of a PKGBUILD and minimize fakeroot usage. This can be done with less code duplication (run_build and run_package look quite similiar) but the run_package function will be where the package splitting logic is implemented in the future.

+An optional package() function can be specified in addition to the build() function.
+This function is run immediately after the build() function. When specified in
