3ab25201909bece9066ac6191670bcee09791d54 contrib: Fixup verify-binaries OS platform parsing (Ben Westgate) Pull request description: Closes #30145. This PR solves two major issues in the `parse_version_string` function of verify-binaries: 1. `-aarch64` binaries cannot be specifically downloaded. The -platform string gets interpreted as a release candidate that doesn't exist due to containing sub-string "rc". 2. Specifying a platform with a "-" in the name causes the parser to ignore both "-platform" AND "-rcN" and download the potentially wrong (non-rc) version for every platform. This also prevented specifying just one platform binary the user wished to download. It also updates the accompanying `test.py` to cover problem two and adds two examples that were formerly broken to `README.md` to show what is now possible. Including the most useful case of downloading only 1 specific platform's binary. This improves the Bitcoin verify-binaries tools user experience by not: 1. Failing to download for inexplicable reasons, 2. Downloading more files than what the user told it to, or in the worst case 3. Downloading only the wrong files. * A test was added to cover the command `verify-binaries/verify.py pub 22.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz` which checks that _bitcoin-22.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz_ downloads successfully AND ONLY _bitcoin-22.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz_ downloads. * The steps to reproduce each bug are in the referenced issue #30145. Explanation of the potential issue as well as reasoning for the way the bug was fixed are in my commit descriptions. * This delivers the promised feature of "only download the binaries for a certain platform", by allowing strings with '-' to be accepted, allowing for single file downloads for any specific platform which was not always possible before. * Removes 6 lines of code from the offending `parse_version_string` function, while fixing the bugs/errors, and extending the functionality to be practical for users with slow connections. * Makes the error message more helpful when no file matches the provided platform string, now prints "Did you mean: `closest-match`" to help correct typos. Thanks for reading my PR. I look forward to getting this helpful tool in its best shape yet.
