Subject: WIP: packaging wrappers for arch

This change partially implements packaing wrapper scripts into Arch
Linux packages. I managed to package the wrapper binary itself
successfully, but the current implementation is not usable as it doesn't
package the required config files with the wrapper.

The issue is that I'd need to iterate the derivation's inputs and filter
out the wrapped program, leaving only the config files. I need more time
to figure out how to do this. In the meantime I'm leaving the broken
version here as a scaffold.

P.S. this could be implemented by directly building MTREE files too
instead of pkgbuilds. I chose pkgbuilds for simplicity.
