* Force creation of missing soft link

* More detailed test of softlink installation

This is just a minor quality-of-life improvement for packaging. Note
that this also quotes the argument to echo so that if (somehow)
$ALIRE_OS were set to a malicious value, no harm could be done.

* Update msys2 installer

* Ensure msys2 from commit is tested

In commands with options that admit arguments, like '--prefix' in
'alr install', is useful to provide an argument name in the command
help that gives a hint of the expected type.

For example, 'alr install -h' shows the message:
====
OPTIONS
   --prefix=ARG   Override installation prefix (default is ...)
====

When changed to:
====
OPTIONS
   --prefix=DIR   Override installation prefix (default is ...)
====

the 'DIR' name of the argument immediately says what is expected in this
option. In cases where this is not so obvious, it helps even more.
For example, in 'alr build -h':
====
OPTIONS
   --profiles=LIST     Comma-separated list of <crate>=<profile> values (see description)
   --stop-after=STAGE  Build stage after which to stop (see description)
====

is a quick remainder of what is expected in that options.

* Enforce usage of Sementic_Versioning when printing Alire/Alr version

To ensure a consistent formatting whatever the version.
The version string is now private, only the semver type is visible.

* Enforce usage of Sementic_Versioning for index versions

* Inform about providers in `alr get`

* Test for the change

* Remainders of the config --> settings refactor

* Fix Windows-only builtins

* Refactor `ALR_CONFIG` to `ALIRE_SETTINGS`

* Replace --config with --settings

* Code review

* Post-merge fix

* config.toml --> settings.toml

* Prepend comment in `config.toml` about migration

* Remove file touching

* Refactor `ALR_CONFIG` to `ALIRE_SETTINGS`

* Code review

To avoid mixing top levels, also nest the cache too.

* Refactor `Alire.Config.*` as `Alire.Settings.*`

* Refactor Windows-only files

* Missing dependencies in testsuite documentation.

Required package 'pexpect' is not installed as a dependency of
'e3-testsuite', so is has to be explicitly installed.

Neither 'e3-testsuite' nor 'e3-core' depend on it:

* Install pip dependencies using requirements.txt

Both 'alr -c' and 'alr --config' throw exceptions because a required
parameter is missing.

This fix handle missing parameter of config switch in the same way as, for
example, 'alr -C' and 'alr --chdir': an error message informs the user that a
required parameter is missing.

Since it affects the place where the argument can be used, the user
has to be aware of that.

This change is introduced to tackle the confusion between the
configuration of the Alire commands and operations, and the
configuration of crates.

`alr config` is still available and should work as before with the
exception of a deprecation warning message.

* Remove --[un]install, --install-dir

* Patch tests

* User changes

* review of --install et al. removal

* Fix test broken by new crate hash

* Package to track future features

* Loading metadata and explicit binary

* bug box in case of Program_Error

* Fix optionally appearing address in error location

* alire-errors.ads: typo

* Don't run OS initialization during elaboration

As this makes impossible to tweak such initialization with `alr config`.

* Make msys live inside overriden config path by default

* Better explanation in alr.py

* Fix config loading before Windows builtins

* Reinstate lost style checks

* Explicit style checks and corresponding fixes

* Update the supported values of the os and distribution parameters.

* Use new `distribution-unknown`
