Use .SRCINFO instead of PKGBUILD for pkgbase e.a. querying #135

Description

@AladW

SRCINFO has a more stable format than PKGBUILD as it is a simple key/value format generated by the user. It contains the same metadata the PKGBUILD contains. (*) For example, compare:

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=aws-cli-git

to

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/.SRCINFO?h=aws-cli-git

(*) The SRCINFO has to be explicitely generated by the maintainer, but this shouldn't be a problem since the AUR warns explicitely on this when pushing changes.
