This was discussed and more or less agreed upon on the mailing list. A
huge checkin, but if we just do it and let people adjust the pain will
end soon enough. Rebasing should be relatively straighforward for anyone
that sees conflicts; just be sure you use the new return style if
possible.
The following semantic patch was used to do the change, along with some
hand-massaging in order to preserve parenthesis where appropriate:

In packages, our description file contains:
key = value is here
type entries, and we passed "key " and " value is here" to our strtrim
function, causing us to always memmove the value portion to remove the
space. Since this is a throwaway buffer, do the advancing on our own before
trimming to save the need to shift memory around; "value is here" will now
be passed and strtrim will be responsible for trailing whitespace.

Noted in FS#22697. When I factored out _alpm_parsedate() into a common
function, I didn't move the <locale.h> include properly, causing a build
failure when NLS is disabled and this header isn't automatically included
everywhere.

We explicitly place 'pkgbase' (and used to place 'force') fields inside
PKGINFO files, so ignore them silently instead of printing an error for
them. Also make the error message for unknown keys actually contain the key.

Instead, go the same route we have always taken with version-release in
libalpm and treat it all as one piece of information. Makepkg is the only
script that knows about epoch as a distinct value; from there on out we will
parse out the components as necessary.
This makes the code a lot simpler as far as epoch handling goes. The
downside here is that we are tossing some compatibility to the wind;
packages using force will have to be rebuilt with an incremented epoch to
keep their special status.

All functions that are limited to the local translation unit are
declared static. This exposed that the _pkg_get_deltas declaration
in be_local.c was being satified by the function in packages.c which
when declared static caused linker failures.

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%.
This pushes _alpm_pkg_find back to the title of slowest low-level function.

Whenever depends is needed from the local db, so is desc. The only
disadvantage to merging them is the additional time taken to read the
depends entries when they are not needed. As depends is in general
relatively small, the additional time taken to read it in will be
negligable. Also, merging these files will speed up local database
access due to less file seeks.

Hopefully we've finally arrived at package handling nirvana, or at least
this commit will get us a heck of a lot closer. The former method of getting
the depends list for a package was the following:
1. call alpm_pkg_get_depends()
2. this method would check if the package came from the cache
3. if so, ensure our cache level is correct, otherwise call db_load
4. finally return the depends list
Why did this suck? Because getting the depends list from the package
shouldn't care about whether the package was loaded from a file, from the
'package cache', or some other system which we can't even use because the
damn thing is so complicated. It should just return the depends list.
So what does this commit change? It adds a pointer to a struct of function
pointers to every package for all of these 'package operations' as I've
decided to call them (I know, sounds completely straightforward, right?). So
now when we call an alpm_pkg_get-* function, we don't do any of the cache
logic or anything else there- we let the actual backend handle it by
delegating all work to the method at pkg->ops->get_depends.
Now that be_package has achieved equal status with be_files, we can treat
packages from these completely different load points differently. We know a
package loaded from a zip file will have all of its fields populated, so
we can set up all its accessor functions to be direct accessors. On the
other hand, the packages loaded from the local and sync DBs are not always
fully-loaded, so their accessor functions are routed through the same logic
as before.
Net result? More code. However, this code now make it roughly 52 times
easier to open the door to something like a read-only tar.gz database
backend.
Are you still reading? I'm impressed. Looking at the patch will probably be
clearer than this long-winded explanation.

After our recent screwup with size_t and ssize_t in the download code, I
found the `-Wsign-conversion` flag to GCC to see if we were doing anything
else boneheaded. I didn't find anything quite as bad, but we did have some
goofups- most of our public unsigned methods would return -1 on error, which
is a bit odd in an unsigned context.

Some previous commits apparently broke the get_filename function for package
loaded with pkg_load (on a -Qip operation) because this field was no longer
filled. Now pkg_load fills it.
But the -Qip operation needs to be run like this : -Qip <filename>, so the
filename is already known. There is no need to display it again.
Besides, on a normal -Qi operation, the filename is not displayed either
because this information is not stored in the local database.

alpm_pkg_load() and parse_descfile() are specific to getting information
from package files, just as other code is specific to getting information
into or out of a package database. Move this code out of package.c, which
should eventually only contain operators on the pmpkg_t struct that do not
depend at all on where the data came from.
