[Enhancement] Add short form for --hotedit option

[ratijas]

Summary

Add shorthand (single-letter) form for aura's --hotedit option of -A operation. I suggest -e because E stands for Edit.

Description

Editing abandoned, broken or otherwise not out-of-the-box-AUR suitable packages is quite common task in my daily interaction with AUR helpers. Thus, I used to use -e as a short form of option to edit package's PKGBUILD. I would love to see this shortcut available in aura.

Alternatives

Pacaur supports -Se options combo.

Trizen has an opposite flag: --noedit.

Yay has many unconventional options related to editing PKGBUILD, e.g. --[no]answeredit, --[no]editmenu, --editor and --editorflags.

Version

$ aura -Qi aura
Name            : aura-bin
Version         : 3.1.9-1
Build Date      : Tue Sep 29 16:46:45 2020

I had always been adverse to giving --hotedit and shorthand because I felt that people should be very careful when choosing to overwrite a PKGBUILD, but I suppose even with a short -e there are many opportunities after that to "turn back" and not edit, or not go through with building with the altered PKGBUILD. I can add this for you.

[ratijas]

Btw, today I tried out --hotedit on already built & installed package, and to my surprise aura never prompted me to edit PKGBUILD — it just reinstalled existing bundle.

[fosskers]

If Aura sees you already have the exact version in your cache, it just grabs that and installs it. --force will rebuild it anyway, at which point --hotedit should activate.

[ratijas]

Oh, it slipped my mind. Would it make sense to warn the user about ignored --hotedit then? 'cause I was lazy to read man-pages, and resorted to using a different AUR helper.

[fosskers]

Good idea, I'll add that.

Slightly clearer message:

Top of the top. Thanks!
