apkg — new pipeline tooling for Obarun packages

Dear Obarun Community,

The build and deployment pipeline behind every Obarun package — [obcore], [obextra], [observice] and [obcommunity] — has been rebuilt from the ground up. The new tool is called apkg. It replaces the legacy apkg-*.sh bash scripts that have been quietly orchestrating Obarun package releases for more than 3 years. This post explains what changed, what it means for maintainers, and — most importantly — why contributing a package to [obcommunity] is now drastically easier than it used to be.
