These macros take the place of the common 4 or 5 line blocks of code we had
in most places that called malloc or calloc. This should reduce some code
duplication and make memory allocation more standard in libalpm.
Highlights:
* Note that the MALLOC macro actually uses calloc, this is just for safety
so that memory is initialized to 0. This can be easily changed in one
place.
* One malloc call was completely eliminated- it made more sense to do it
on the stack.
* The use of RET_ERR in public functions (mainly the alpm_*_new functions)
was standardized, this makes sense so pm_errno is set.

This allows us to remove the hack in the frontend where we added a newline
to everything coming out of the pm_printf functions, and instead let the
developer put newlines where they want them. This should be the last hangover
of that auto-newline stuff.

Add some 'const' keywords all over the code to make it a bit more strict on
what you can and can't do with data. This is especially important when we
return pointers to the pacman frontend- ideally this would always be
untouchable data.

Remove inclusion of libintl.h from all files, because we can do it once
in util.c where the _() macro is defined.

reordering and adding ones that were forgotten (noticed when trying to
compile after reordering).
* Updated the HACKING file to include information on #include usage.
* print -> vprint in "making dir" function in pactest.
* Unified some functions names "package" -> "pkg" for consistency
* Removed the goofy 'faketarget' stuff used for dep testing
* Renamed alpm_pkg_isin -> alpm_pkg_find
* Renamed alpm_db_readpkg -> alpm_db_get_pkg
* Fixed -Ss output so as not to call alpm_list_getdata with a NULl list
* Added a NULL check in alpm_list_getdata
* Fixed alpm_list_add_sorted to properly handle a new / beginning insertions
* renamed pmlist_t -> alpm_list_t
* made alpm_list_t a public type (alpm_list.h header)
* removed additional storage for registered DBs in pacman source
* some code cleanup
* removed duplicate (pm)list_display functions from pacman source
* misc code cleanup
* libalpm api changes - move from a _getinfo(p, WHAT_WE_WANT) scheme to a
typesafe _get_what_we_want(p) scheme [not 100% complete yet]
* some const correctness changes
* removal of PM_* types in alpm.h in favor of the pm*_t types used throughout
libalpm
* Furthered the "lazy caching" to force the pkgcache to read nothing
(INFRQ_NONE) by default. Anything requiring package data should now check
the infolevel of each package and attempt to update it. This could be
ironed out a bit more later (by using the front-end get_info function
* Switched to libfetch. Drastic changes to the download code and the callback
progress bar functions. Also fixed the return value of
_alpm_downloadfiles_forreal. Downloading now supports http, ftp, https, and
files urls, along with 'mtime's and numerous other fancy features from
libfetch.
