* 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
* avoid repeated regex compilations (regex for search string do not
change while scanning the package database)
* remove needless string duplication (regex function do not change target
string nor free them)
* code cleanup
This patch improves search performance:

* 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
* Accidental database read of a file-based package (whoops)
* Proper fetching of url-based -U or -A
Removed some newlines from _alpm_log calls, to make debug output more concise
* 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.
* Removed the PMList typedef, in favor of the same naming scheme other
structs use 'pmlist_t'
* Added a time stamp on debug output, to make it more informational
* Moved alpm_db_register to _alpm_db_register, making the public function
not take a callback parameter
