[ci skip] New package: electron42-42.11.3

[ar-jan]

Testing the changes

• I tested the changes in this PR: YES

I built vscode (current outdated 1.100.3 xbps version) with electron42 and tested that locally (x86_64-glibc).

New package

• This new package conforms to the package requirements: YES

Local build testing

• I built this PR locally for my native architecture, x86_64-glibc.
• I built this PR locally for these architectures:
  • x86_64-musl
  • cross: aarch64
  • cross: aarch64-musl

The template is even more involved than usual, because Electron v42 requires Chromium 148.0.7778.280, but for some reason no distribution tarball of .280 exists, the last available v148 distribution package is 148.0.7778.215. The most readable solution to get .280 seemed to be to start with .215 and merge changes from the .280 git archive into that tree. That meant deletion of some files from the .215 file tree and updating a number of the Chromium dependencies to the versions specified for .280.

Most of the patches are either identical to the ones used previously for Chromium 148 / Electron 35 / Electron 39 PR, or only rebased. A few patches contain further changes, and there are 3 new patches.

I've used AI assistance throughout for troubleshooting compilation issues, rebasing and adjusting the patches, and suggestions for fixes based on templates and patches for chromium, electron33, electron35, the electron39 PR, and from general AI review. I've read all the changes and checked that they resolve the build issues that prompted them. But while the changes look reasonable to me, I'm hoping someone with more expertise in these languages and compilers can verify they are the right approach. A table with an overview of all the patch sources and modifications follows.

I've not placed myself as maintainer, anyone up to take this over?

cr138-node-version-check.patch	C148; identical in E39.	As-is.

Musl compatibility patches — musl targets only

Patch	Source	Reuse and adaptation
chromium-138-rust-musl-targets.patch	C148; original also in E39.	Rebased after upstream removed cargo_target_abi; retain equivalent target selection.
chromium-140-musl-prctl.patch	C148; identical in E39.	As-is.
chromium-143--libsync-__BEGIN_DECLS.patch	C148.	As-is.
chromium-147-musl-toolchain.patch	C148; supersedes older E39 toolchain/libc++ patches.	Rebased across compiler/libc++ context and relocated creation of musl.gni; intended settings unchanged.
chromium-aarch64-musl.patch	C148 chromium-147-aarch64-musl-no-memory-tagging.patch.	Rebased with the same settings/import. The companion fix-aarch64-musl-memory-tagging-macros.patch is not imported because disabled tagging makes its fallback macros unnecessary.
chromium-cross-musl-toolchain.patch	Electron42-specific extension of its E39-derived cross toolchains.	New: propagate host-libc settings to host/snapshot/Rust toolchains and Node js2c's separate V8 toolchain.
electron-environ.patch	Electron42-specific adaptation of Electron's environment implementation.	New: remove the glibc version API, always use retained storage on musl, and match musl declarations without noexcept.
electron-file-dialog.patch	E39 files/musl-patches/electron_shell-file-dialog-drop-glibc.patch.	Rebased solely to apply from the Chromium source root.
fix-missing-TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY-macro.patch	C148; identical in E35/E39.	As-is.

musl-tid-caching.patch	C148; identical in E39.	As-is.
no-getcontext.patch	C148; identical in E35/E39.	As-is relative to the maintained C148 patch.

Development-header patch — installation only

Patch	Source	Reuse and adaptation
