Sebastian Poxhofer a3d265d45d refactor(datasource): stop double-caching releases at the index level (#46103)
* refactor(datasource): stop double-caching releases at the index level

15 datasources set `caching = true`, which makes the registry wrapper in
`lib/modules/datasource/index.ts` store every `getReleases` result under
`datasource-releases-<id>` for 15 minutes, while their own `cached()`
wrapper already stores the same result under `datasource-<id>` with a
longer TTL and stale-fallback. Drop `caching` from those 15; the four
that rely on the index cache alone (dart-version, flutter-version,
maven, pypi) keep it.

`caching` is documented as requiring the datasource to return the
`isPrivate` flag, and none of these 15 ever set it, so the index layer
was caching private results unconditionally. The remaining `cached()`
layer honours `cachePrivatePackages` as before.

Also fix two cache-key/registry defects found alongside:

- `galaxy-collection` declares `registryStrategy = 'hunt'` but keyed its
  cache on the package name only, so a `null` from the first hunted
  registry was replayed for the second one. The registry URL is now part
  of the key, which invalidates existing entries once.
- `typst` ignores `config.registryUrl` and always reads its default
  registry, so it now sets `customRegistrySupport = false`. A configured
  `registryUrls` for typst is now warned about and ignored instead of
  being silently dropped.

* Merge branch 'main' into secustor/refactor/datasource-remove-index-caching

This datasource returns Python releases from the python.org API.

It also fetches deprecated versions from the Endoflife Date datasource.

Because Renovate depends on containerbase/python-prebuild it will also fetch releases from the GitHub API.

Example custom manager

Below is a custom regex manager to update the Python versions in a Dockerfile. Python versions sometimes drop the dot that separate the major and minor number: so 3.11 becomes 311. The example below handles this case.

ARG PYTHON_VERSION=311
FROM image-python${PYTHON_VERSION}-builder:1.0.0
{
  "customManagers": [
    {
      "customType": "regex",
      "managerFilePatterns": ["/^Dockerfile$/"],
      "matchStringsStrategy": "any",
      "matchStrings": [
        "ARG PYTHON_VERSION=\"?(?<currentValue>3(?<minor>\\d+))\"?\\s"
      ],
      "autoReplaceStringTemplate": "ARG PYTHON_VERSION={{{replace '\\.' '' newValue}}}\n",
      "currentValueTemplate": "3.{{{minor}}}",
      "datasourceTemplate": "python-version",
      "versioningTemplate": "python",
      "depNameTemplate": "python"
    }
  ]
}
