Add support for APKBUILD (Alpine Linux)

[bartekpacia]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'd like GoReleaser to have explicit support for apk's APKBUILD format, used by Alpine Linux.

APKBUILD is very similar to Arch's PKGBUILD. The only difference (that I'm aware of) is that APKBUILD scripts must be pure sh, while PKGBUILD are bash.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be basically the same as the current aurs feature, but with a different name.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Use aurs to push to alpine linux repos and somehow automate renaming PKGBUILD to APKBUILD?

Thank you for being a fantastic open-source maintainer.

Hmm, I see GoReleaser already has support for nFPM, and it says "GoReleaser can be wired to nfpm to generate and publish .deb, .rpm, .apk, and ArchLinux packages." Therefore I think there's at least some overlap between the feature I propose in this issue and the already-supported nFPM.

But then, GoReleaser has explicit support for AURs... hmm.

---

nFPM is in the "Packaging and Archiving" docs section, and AUR is in the "Publish" docs section, so I understand that these 2 are different things, on different stages of build/deploy process.

yeah, nfpm generates the packages themselves, and goreleaser can use nfpm to do the same.

goreleaser also supports creating and pushing AUR PKGBUILD & co files.

I haven't looked into the docs of APKBUILD yet to decide if it makes sense to add it as well or not
