yuangongji 735c891e71 Add API/ABI checker (using LVC)
v2 (by azat):
- drop package installations
- use local .abi-check over $HOME/abi-check for build dir
- drop regex check, simply use default values (too complex otherwise)
- use sub-shell to avoid cd back
- add missing quotes
- make the style uniq across the whole file (no tabs for indent, copy-paste?)
- drop `set -x`, use `bash -x abi-check.sh` over
- drop EVENT_ABI_CHECK
- use /usr/bin/env bash as shebang
- use `find | xargs` over `cp $(grep -v)`
- adjust markdown syntax in abi-check/README.md
- adjust link to the publicly available documentation

v3 (by azat):
- docker image
- git check-ignore
- make -j8
- allow to change defaults

## libevent ABI/API changes
This script is used to generate information about changes in libevent ABI/API
between various versions using [LVC tools](https://github.com/lvc). Such an
overview can help developers migrate from one version to another.
Here is the `abi_check.sh`, which is used to generate ABI/API timeline for
libevent.
You can limit the number of included libevent versions via a number given
as a parameter to the script. For example
```shell
$ ./abi_check.sh 3
```
generates overview for the last 3 versions and the current version.
If no parameter given, it will generate overview for the last 2 versions and
the current version by default.
But this script requires some tools that are available in the following docker image:
```
docker.pkg.github.com/azat/docker-images/lvc-debian
```
And the full command looks like:
```shell
docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/src:ro -w /src -v tmp/le-abi-check-root:/abi-root -e ABI_CHECK_ROOT=/abi-root docker.pkg.github.com/azat/docker-images/lvc-debian /src/extra/abi-check/abi_check.sh
```
'timeline/libevent/index.html' is the final result and can be viewed
[here](https://libevent.org/abi)
