Bug Description

Manifests record which revisions of each branch were used in the last build, making them useful for detecting when a branch has changed since the last build.

Sourcepackagerecipe builds generate a manifest file (we think) but this is not handled by Launchpad.

Instead, we should add a database table for recipe manifests and provide a SourcePackageRecipeBuild.manifest as a nullable foreign key.

We will need to customize the handling of BuildBase_handle_status_OK to store manifests

We may not actually need a manifest database table. We could just use the manifest to link the appropriate BranchRevisions to the build.

IIRC the intention was to use a new SourcePackageRecipeData to store the manifest. It was designed with that in mind.

Yes, a SourcePackageRecipeData can store the contents of a manifest, but if we want to store metadata about the manifest, we'll want a table for that.

Unfortunately, a SourcePackageRecipeData stores the revision ids as revision specs, which are not suitable for SQL queries. So if we want to run queries to determine which recipes are stale according to revision ids, we should store Revisions or BranchRevisions.

@lifeless The only thing that comes to mind is links to the Revisions that correspond with its "revid:" revision specs.
