Upgrade Skopeo from 1.2.3 to 1.9.3

Summary

This updates the bundled Skopeo binary from version 1.2.3 to 1.9.3 in the fetchcode_container plugin.

Related to aboutcode-org/scancode.io#1696

Changes

  • Updated build.sh to use skopeo-1.9.3
  • Added skopeo-1.9.3.tar.gz to lib-src/
  • Added corresponding .ABOUT file for version 1.9.3
  • Rebuilt and updated the bundled Skopeo binary

Testing

  • Built successfully in a Linux (WSL Ubuntu) environment
  • Verified the binary runs correctly:
skopeo version 1.9.3

Notes

  • Newer Skopeo versions require additional system dependencies during build:

    • libgpgme-dev
    • libdevmapper-dev
    • pkg-config
  • No changes were made to install these dependencies automatically; they are expected to be available in the build environment

Impact

  • Updates an outdated Skopeo version (1.2.3 to 1.9.3)
  • Improves compatibility with modern container images
  • Addresses the concern raised in the linked ScanCode.io issue

Please let me know if a newer Skopeo version is preferred or if additional adjustments are needed.
