Description:

slirp for user mode networking is now a standalone library. A libslirp package was recently added to Arch Community repo.

For security reasons it is obviously better to use a system lib for ease of independent updating, especially for such a security sensitive component which has a history of CVE's.

Both Fedora and Debian have switched to system libslirp.

Needed PKGBUILD changes:

- add libslirp to _headlessdeps
- add --enable-slirp=system to the configure invocation in _build()
