Rebuild packages when what they link against moves

A package that links Qt private API has to be rebuilt whenever qt6-base moves, because Qt_6_PRIVATE_API symbols are not covered by the soname and pacman upgrades Qt out from under the installed binary while the dependency stays unversioned. Nothing here noticed. Both version gates ask whether the package's own source moved, and for a VCS package pinned to a commit that answer stays no through every Qt release.

Unlocking the build gate would not have been enough on its own. A rebuild that reuses the published version string produces a package pacman never offers anyone, so the trigger has to edit git and bump pkgrel, which is why it sits beside sync-aur and sync-upstream rather than inside check-versions or the builder. Once pkgrel moves, both existing gates already do the right thing untouched.

Packages opt in with rebuild_on in .omarchy/package.json. bin/sync-rebuilds records what each was last bumped for in rebuilt_against and compares that to core, extra and multilib, ignoring testing and kde-unstable because those are not what the builder links against. A package with no record yet is only recorded, never bumped: what its published build linked against is not knowable from here, so the first run establishes the baseline. For an AUR-synced package the bump is written as the dotted Omarchy pkgrel suffix in the metadata as well, since the next sync replaces the PKGBUILD wholesale and would otherwise drop it.

Automated pkgrel bump for packages that link against a dependency
which has moved in the official repositories.
Each package names those dependencies in `rebuild_on` and carries the
versions its current pkgrel was bumped for in `rebuilt_against`. The
bump is what makes the rebuilt package an upgrade pacman will offer;
without it the build produces the version already published and no
one receives it.
