Description

Hi there,
Thanks for the great work!
There is this new CEP that landed with repodata_version 2, and it would be really cool if libsolv supports it to handle base_url.
I can also give it a try and open a PR if you want :)
Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reading CEP-15 to understand the repodata_version 2 and base_url requirements, then locate libsolv's repodata.json parsing entry point and related tests. Done means repositories using repodata_version 2 are parsed successfully with base_url support, with coverage for the new format.
