xz 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 source tarballs are backdoored. Investigation found that no #alpinelinux xz binary is affected.
- stable branches uses xz 5.4 or older.
- edge uses unaffected tarball

Replying to @alpinelinux
@alpinelinux received two Milk-V Pioneer Box machines. Thank you @risc_v and @MilkV_Official. This brings us close to releasing a stable Alpine Linux RISC-V release.
