apt: upgrade 2.6.1 -> 3.0.3

Changelog:
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/a/apt/apt_3.0.3_changelog

Dropped patches which are included in this release, or became obsolete:
0001-Fix-compilation-error-with-clang-libc-18.patch - included in this release
0001-Fix-musl-build.patch - included in this release
0001-Raise-cmake_minimum_required-to-3.13-to-avoid-warnin.patch - included in this release
0001-Remove-using-std-binary_function.patch - became obsolete, fixed upstream
0001-aptwebserver.cc-Include-array.patch - became obsolete, fixed upstream
0001-strutl-Add-missing-include-cstdint-gcc-15.patch - included in this release

Added a new patch to avoid compilation error with musl:
error: 'basename' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'rename'?

Adapted DEPENDS list - gnutls and gcrypt dependencies were dropped in favor of openssl
in version 2.9.19.

Added a new PACKAGECONFIG, 'usrmerge', which displays a gentle warning if the system
isn't a usrmerge system during package installation.

Added new COMMON_ARCH CMake argument - if it is not defined, CMake is trying to
determine the value of this variable by running dpkg, which is usually a futile
endeavour. It is used in config creation, and to print some system info.

Also adapt a self test: the apt-key command has been deprecated since a while,
and in this release it was completely removed. Instead sources.list file
contains the signature data, on a per-repository basis.

-Subject: [PATCH] Raise cmake_minimum_required to 3.13 to avoid warnings
-
-CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:6 (cmake_minimum_required):
-  Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 will be removed from a future version of
-  CMake.
-
-  Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to tell
-  CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.
-
-Picking 3.13 here is a semi-random choice to avoid raising the requirement
-too much needlessly while also hopefully avoiding needing to raise it
-soon again based on the referenced mail.
-
-While we are at it, lets also fix the other spewed warning:
-
-CMake Warning (dev) at CMakeLists.txt:5 (project):
-  cmake_minimum_required() should be called prior to this top-level project()
-  call.  Please see the cmake-commands(7) manual for usage documentation of
-  both commands.

+Subject: [PATCH] fix compilation with musl
+
+The basename() function requires the libgen.h header when
+compiling with musl-libc, otherwise it complains:
+
+error: 'basename' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'rename'?
+
+Also, musl's basename requires char* instead of const char* argument:
+
+error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*' [-fpermissive]
+
+The musl implementation of basename modifies the argument only in case
+it is a folder path (it cuts off the trailing slashes). In our case,
+when argv[0] is passed, it is always a filename without a trailing
+slash, so just cast the argument.
