Travis Burtrum abb057844e Add per-repo PinnedPubKey option
This sets curl's CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY option in the built-in
downloader, or replaces %p in XferCommand.  This pins public
keys to ensure your TLS connection is not man-in-the-middled
without relying on CAs etc.  Probably most useful currently
for very small or single groups of servers.

It would obviously be best as a per-mirror option, but such
a thing currently does not exist.

Add a "Usage" key to the repo section of the config which allows for the
tokens "Search", "Install", "Upgrade", "All", which correspond to values
in the alpm_db_usage_t enum. Users can specify "Usage" multiple times
for a given repo, or multiple flags per "Usage" line and they will be
OR'd together. If unspecified, the default is full usage of the repo.

Dan McGee 6a8e50a69e Remove SyncFirst option
This has outlived its usefulness and causes more problems than it
solves. It has historically only ever been used to install pacman first.
That should not be needed given we provide the vercmp utility (which has
no library dependencies) and so calling pacman in install scripts is a
sign of poor packaging.

Dan McGee b3612e9cc1 Allow UseDelta option to specify a delta ratio
Rework the frontend and backend to allow passing a ratio value in for
UseDelta rather than having a hardcoded #define-d 0.7 value always used.
This is useful for those with fast connections, who would likely benefit
from tuning this ratio to lower values; it is also useful for general
testing purposes.

The libalpm API changes for this, but we do support the old config file
format with a no-value 'UseDelta' option; in this case we simply use the
old default of 0.7.

We clamp the ratio values to a sane range between 0.0 and 2.0, allowing
ratios above 1.0 for testing purposes.

Chris Brannon ac88e90557 Let pacman specify GnuPG's home directory.
GnuPG looks for configuration files and keyrings in its home directory.
For a user, that is typically ~/.gnupg.
This patch causes pacman to use /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ as the default
GnuPG home.  One may override the default using --gpgdir on the command-line
or GPGDir in pacman's configuration file.

Chantry Xavier d5278ebb3b Add SyncFirst option.
This patch offers a way to fix FS#9228.
By putting "SyncFirst = pacman" in pacman.conf, the version check will
happen before the transaction really starts, and before any replacements is
made.
Otherwise, no version check is done.

The sync301 pactest was updated to use this SyncFirst option.

Example session with SyncFirst = pacman, and a newer pacman version
available :
$ pacman -Su (or pacman -S <any targets>)
:: the following packages should be upgraded first :
    pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n]

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Targets: pacman-x.y.z-t

Total Download Size:    x.xx MB
Total Installed Size:   x.xx MB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] n

As Nagy previously noted, doing this check on any -S operations might look
intrusive, but it can be required.
For example, the case where you want to install a package with versioned
provisions, using a pacman version which didn't support that feature yet
(and there is already a newer pacman in sync db supporting it).

As it was already mentioned several times, the new -Sc behavior in 3.1 is
great, but only when the package cache is not shared.

This option has two possible values : KeepInstalled and KeepCurrent
With KeepCurrent, -Sc will clean packages that are no longer available in
any sync db, rather than packages that are no longer in the local db. The
resulting behavior should be better for shared cache.
