This moves the common setup code of about 5 different callers into one
method. Error messages will now be common and shared in all places;
several paths did not have any messages at all before.
In addition, we now pick an ideal block size for the archive read based
off the larger value of our default buffer size or the st.st_blksize
field. For a filesystem such as NFS, this is often much larger than the
default 8192- values such as 32768 and 131072 are common.

This gives us a bit more control and over the archive reading process,
and a bit less is done behind the scenes. It also allows us to use
fstat() in preference to stat(), which should avoid some potential race
conditions.
Some reorganization is necessary to move the stat calls after the open()
calls. Error handling and cleanup in general is also improved, as we had
several potential memory and file handle leaks before in some error
paths.

This takes the place of three previously used constants:
ARCHIVE_DEFAULT_BYTES_PER_BLOCK, BUFFER_SIZE, and CPBUFSIZE.
In libarchive 3.0, the first constant will be no more, so we can ensure
we are forward-compatible by removing our usage of it now. The rest are
unified for consistency.
By default, we will use the value of BUFSIZ provided by <stdio.h>, which
is 8192 on Linux. If that is undefined, a default value is provided.

This was done to squash a memory leak in the sync database download
code. When we downloaded a database and then reused the payload struct,
we could find ourselves calling get_fullpath() for the signatures and
overwriting non-freed values we had left over from the database
download.
Refactor the payload_free function into a payload_reset function that we
can call that does NOT free the payload itself, so we can reuse payload
structs. This also allows us to move the payload to the stack in some
call paths, relieving us of the need to alloc space.

In reality, there is no retrying that happens as of now because we don't

error: core: signature from "Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com>" is unknown trust

* Move is_local standalone field to status enum

* Create EXISTS/MISSING flag pair
With these additional fields, we can be more intelligent with database
loading and messages to the user. We now only warn once if a sync
database does not exist and do not continue to try to load it once we
have marked it as missing.
The reason for the flags existing in pairs is so the unknown case can be

case. Care is taken to always manipulate both flags at the same time.

We did this with depends way back in commit c244cfecf6 in 2007. We
can do it with these fields as well.
Of note is the inclusion of provides even though only '=' is supported-
we'll parse other things, but no guarantees are given as to behavior,
which is more or less similar to before since we only looked for the
equals sign.
Also of note is the non-inclusion of optdepends; this will likely be
resolved down the road.
The biggest benefactors of this change will be the resolving code that
formerly had to parse and reparse several of these fields; it only
happens once now at load time. This does lead to the disadvantage that
we will now always be parsing this information up front even if we never
need it in the split form, but as these are uncommon fields and our
parser is quite efficient it shouldn't be a big concern.

This means creating a new struct which can pass more descriptive data
from the back end sync functions to the downloader. In particular, we're
interested in the download size read from the sync DB. When the remote
server reports a size larger than this (via a content-length header),
abort the transfer.
In cases where the size is unknown, we set a hard upper limit of:
* 25MiB for a sync DB
* 16KiB for a signature
For reference, 25MiB is more than twice the size of all of the current
binary repos (with files) combined, and 16KiB is a truly gargantuan
signature.

URLs might end with a slash and follow redirects, or could be a
generated by a script such as /getpkg.php?id=12345. In both cases, we
may have a better filename that we can write to, taken from either
content-disposition header, or the effective URL.
Specific to the first case, we write to a temporary file of the format
'alpmtmp.XXXXXX', where XXXXXX is randomized by mkstemp(3). Since this
is a randomly generated file, we cannot support resuming and the file is
unlinked in the event of an interrupt.
We also run into the possibility of changing out the filename from under
alpm on a -U operation, so callers of _alpm_download can optionally pass
a pointer to a *char to be filled in by curl_download_internal with the
actual filename we wrote to. Any sync operation will pass a NULL pointer
here, as we rely on specific names for packages from a mirror.

They are placeholders, but important for things like trying to re-sync a
database missing a signature. By using the alpm_db_validity() method at
the right time, a client can take the appropriate action with these
invalid databases as necessary.
In pacman's case, we disallow just about anything that involves looking
at a sync database outside of an '-Sy' operation (although we do check
the validity immediately after). A few operations are still permitted-
'-Q' ops that don't touch sync databases as well as '-R'.

* Use 'siglevel' consistenly in method names, 'level' as variable name
* The level becomes an enum bitmask value for flexibility
* Signature check methods now return a array of status codes rather than

* Specific signature error codes mostly disappear in favor of the above
returned status code; pm_errno is now set only to PKG_INVALID_SIG or

This is the ideal place to do it as all clients should be checking the

We also add an additional step of validation after we download a new
database; a subsequent '-y' operation can potentially invalidate the
original check at registration time.
Note that this implementation is still a bit naive; if a signature is
invalid it is currently impossible to refresh and re-download the file
without manually deleting it first. Similarly, if one downloads a
database and the check fails, the database object is still there and can
be used. These shortcomings will be addressed in a future commit.

The old function was written in a time before we relied on it for nearly
every operation. Since then, we have switched to the archive backend and now
fast parsing is a big deal.
The former function made a per-character call to the libarchive
archive_read_data() function, which resulted in some 21 million calls in a
typical "load all sync dbs" operation. If we instead do some buffering of
our own and read the blocks directly, and then find our newlines from there,
we can cut out the multiple layers of overhead and go from archive to parsed
data much quicker.
Both users of the former function are switched over to the new signature,
made easier by the macros now in place in the sync backend parsing code.
Performance: for a `pacman -Su` (no upgrades available),
_alpm_archive_fgets() goes from being 29% of the total time to 12% The time
spent on the libarchive function being called dropped from 24% to 6%.
