plugin: indexpage plugin to fetch a product and versions from an ftp or an apache hosted website

we need to track end of life versions for some of the open source projects hosted on a http server or an ftp site like

• automake
• libSM
• binutils

This plugin provides an easy way to integrate with these sites to fetch the versions

libSM.md
auto:
-   indexpage: https://www.x.org/releases/individual/lib/
    regex: -(\d+\.\d+\.\d+).tar.gz

the resulting versions are

➜  release-data git:(main) ✗ cat releases/libSM.json 
{
  "1.2.4": "2022-12-20",
  "1.2.3": "2018-10-10",
  "1.2.2": "2013-09-08",
  "1.2.1": "2012-03-03",
  "1.2.0": "2010-10-28",
  "1.1.1": "2009-08-07",
  "1.1.0": "2008-07-02",
  "1.0.3": "2007-05-13",
  "1.0.2": "2006-10-13",
  "1.0.1": "2006-04-27",
  "1.0.0": "2006-01-18"
}%

Thanks a lot for this contribution @ajayk. Didn't check in details, but overall looks good.

But before merging this we would need at least a product that is using it on https://endoflife.date/: there would be no point in adding a new method that nobody use.

Thanks for review @marcwrobel we are planning to add few products to https://endoflife.date/ wanted to make sure we get the plugin first

[marcwrobel]

Hi @ajayk, do you still plan to add products that will use this new auto-update method?

@marcwrobel I will pick this up again this week
