I plan on using this to deploy both i686 and x86_64 flavors of the heimdal package over at git-for-windows/MSYS2-packages#63.

With the current push to automate All The Things in Git for Windows, we
need a way to perform tasks that involve Pacman. It would be a bit
wasteful to use a full Git for Windows SDK for that task, so here is
support for an SDK artifact that includes Pacman itself and its
dependencies, but leaves out other packages (such as `make`, `gcc`,
etc).

This trims the output to (currently) ~100MB, by skipping files that are
not strictly necessary to run `pacman`, such as documentation or header
files.

On the off chance that those files _are_ needed in some scenarios, offer
also the `pacman-full` flavor, which does include all the files that are
promised by the packages' file list (think: `pacman -Ql <pkg>`).

There is only the attempt left to build a pacman flavor, but that seems more complex than is worth the benefit. So I'll close the PR.
