Add FEATURES=pkgdir-index-trusted
Trust that the PKGDIR index file is valid, meaning that no packages have been manually added or removed since the last call to emaint --fix binhost. This feature eliminates overhead involved with detection of packages that have been manually added or removed, which significantly improves performance in some cases, such as when PKGDIR resides on a high-latency network file system.
