apt-dater-host for Alpine

I use apt-dater to manage updates to numerous XEN domUs, after starting to use Alpine Linux I needed to implement apt-dater-host support for Alpine Linux.

Normally apt-dater host support is implemented in Perl, but as that is not present in a base Alpine install, this implementation of ADP-0.6 was done in ash, sed and awk provided by Busybox.

Link to code on GitHub: apt-dater-host apk support (merged upstream).

Example output, when running apt-dater against an alpine host with pending updates
