Initial gentoo support

[guyosi]

This is initial support for Gentoo Linux to quickget,it does download and boot.

When running quickget gentoo latest, I get

dirname: fehlender Operand
„dirname --help“ liefert weitere Informationen.
ERROR! Failed to download /20211128T170532Z/install-amd64-minimal-20211128T170532Z.iso. Try running 'quickget' again.

which roughly translates to

dirname: missing operand
„dirname --help“ for further information.
ERROR! Failed to download /20211128T170532Z/install-amd64-minimal-20211128T170532Z.iso. Try running 'quickget' again.

https://bouncer.gentoo.org/fetch/root/all/releases/amd64/autobuilds/${RELEASE}-iso.txt looks like this as of 2021-12-01 11:10 German time:

# Latest as of Wed, 01 Dec 2021 07:00:01 +0000
# ts=1638342001
20211128T170532Z/admincd-amd64-20211128T170532Z.iso 648019968
20211128T170532Z/install-amd64-minimal-20211128T170532Z.iso 457179136

My first guess is that grep fails, since there is no string "Location" anywhere in the file above.
Will investigate further!

It should find "Location" in the stderr from wgeting.
It's worked reliably for me and the following still does

eval $( wget  -O/tmp/gentoolatest https://bouncer.gentoo.org/fetch/root/all/releases/amd64/autobuilds/${RELEASE}-iso.txt 2`>&1 |grep Location | awk '{print "LOCAT="$2}' )
    LOCAT=$(dirname ${LOCAT})
    eval $( awk '/admincd-amd64/ {print "ADMIN="$1}; /install-amd64-minimal/ {print "INSTALLMIN="$1}' /tmp/gentoolatest )
    URL="${LOCAT}/${INSTALLMIN}"
    ISO=$(basename "${INSTALLMIN}" )

Might need to quote the grep expression and also add something to catch absence (or oddness) in the ${RELEASE}-iso.txt
And maybe quietly remove /tmp/gentoolatest at the end.

However - the "Location" is wget saying it has been redirected to .... so for you it is I guess speaking German, so LOCAT remains ""

This function need to set LC_ environments temporarily to not get internationlized OR some horrendous i18n fun will ensue.
@daPhipz could you provide a neat solution ?

-- update: tried setting LC_* to de_DE and whilst dategave nice german output, stderr from the wget was still "^Location: " for the redirect ... 🤷‍♂️

@guyosi you'll need to do a little merging and conflict resolution to get this PR to be mergeable again (this is normal - we all step on each others toes at merge time ). Maybe worth setting this to draft until it is re-tested and confirmed working again once it has no conflicts.

@flexiondotorg note I may have added a bug to this that "works for me" but not @daPhipz - see the comment a couple above.

Finished squashing the bugs, there shouldn't be any conflicts.
