As discussed in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2025-07/msg00354.html

This patch add new optional keywords to use-package, most of them are
inspired by suggestions from use-package bug-tracker on github

This includes following keywords:

* :advice Add or remove function advices.

* :custom-face* Like :custom-face but override the face specs.
  This closes bug#77928 dilemma.

* :defvar-keymap Define a new keymap or override an existent one.

* :doc Document the use-package declaration instead using comments.

* :tag Like :doc, but for categorizing.
  (This and :doc does nothing)

* :emacs<, :emacs<=, :emacs=, :emacs>, :emacs>=, shorthand for
  `:if (version...)`

* :hook-suffix Changes `use-package-hook-name-suffix' value only in the
  current use-package declaration.

* :hook+ Like default :hook, but allows to set the hook depth and set
  multiple functions in the hook (or for each hook).

  Although I tried to make it compatible with :hook, there may be some
  things I missed, so I decided to put it separately instead of merging
  it with :hook.  In addition, its syntax is more complex compared to
  :hook.

* :local-set Bind variables locally when entering to a mode or to a hook(s).
  An alternative to  `:hook (hook . (lambda () (setq-local ...)))`

* :setopt Like :custom, but can also bind plain variables.
  This uses the `setopt` function for bind the variables.

* :which-key-replacement A simple way to set which-key replacements.
