Two new archives are available:

- packages-meta-v1.json.gz
    - RPC search formatted data for all packages
    - ~2.1MB at the time of writing.
- packages-meta-ext-v1.json.gz (via --extended)
    - RPC multiinfo formatted data for all packages.
    - ~9.8MB at the time of writing.

New dependencies are required for this update:

- `python-orjson`

All archives served out by aur.archlinux.org distribute the Last-Modified
header and support the If-Modified-Since header, which should be
populated with Last-Modified's value. These should be used by clients
to avoid redownloading the archive when unnecessary.

Additionally, the new meta archives contain a format suitable for
streaming the data as the file is retrieved. It is still in JSON
format, however, users can parse package objects line by line after
the first '[' found in the file, until the last ']'; both contained
on their own lines.

Note: This commit is a documentation change and commit body.
