Please add an EAPI 5 subslot to libarchive, I have some deps that would be nice to rebuild next time the soname is bumped.

honestly, i'm not familiar with the subslots yet, can you provide an example patch?

Example patch:

-SLOT="0"
+SLOT="0/foo"

Where foo is something that will be updated each time dependants need to be rebuilt.

Some suggestions:
- If the package bumps soname according to some policy (eg. on new x.y versions) you could use that
- 3.1.1 provides libarchive.so.13, so you could just use 13 and update whenever it is bumped
