parentxbps-src: add -K option to getopt string. (diff)
xbps-src/libexec: add make_check option.
Allows a template to define in which circumstances its do_check phase should run, without requiring custom do_check definitions in each template (also makes it easier to change how build styles do things without checking as many templates). Add to Manual and CONTRIBUTING as well.
