Jussi Kukkonen 6aaa1ead59 ngclient: Refactor target path generation
Also tweak the docstrings: the "caching" target_dir usage is
presented in the module doc example: there should be no need for
additional comments in the methods themselves as long as the argument
docs are readable.

Next-gen TUF client for Python

This package provides modules for TUF client implementers.

tuf.ngclient.Updater is a class that implements the client workflow described in the TUF specification (see https://theupdateframework.github.io/specification/latest/#detailed-client-workflow)

tuf.ngclient.FetcherInterface is an abstract class that client implementers can implement a concrete class of in order to reuse their own networking/download libraries -- a Requests-based implementation is used by default.

This package:

  • Aims to be a clean, easy-to-validate reference client implementation written in modern Python
  • At the same time aims to be the library of choice for anyone implementing a TUF client in Python: light-weight, easy to integrate and with minimal required dependencies
  • Is still under development but is planned to become the default client in this implementation (i.e., the older tuf.client will be deprecated in the future)
