If we are missing a local database file, we get repeated messages over
and over telling us the same thing, rather than being sane and erroring
only once. This package adds an INFRQ_ERROR level that is added to the
mask if we encounter any errors on a local_db_read() operation, and
short circuits future calls if found in the value. This fixes FS#25313.
Note that this does not make any behavior changes other than suppressing
error messages and repeated code calls to failure cases; we still have
more to do in the "local database is hosed" department.
Also make a small update to the wrong but unused flags set in
be_package; using INFRQ_ALL there was not totally correct.

We don't write with extra or unknown whitespace, so there is little
reason for us to trim it when reading either. This also fixes the
hopefully never encountered "paths that start or end with spaces" issue,
for which two pactests have been added. The tests also contain other
evil characters that we have encountered before and handle just fine,
but it doesn't hurt to ensure we don't break such support in the future.

This accomplishes quite a few things with one rather invasive change.
1. Iteration is much more performant, due to a reduction in pointer
chasing and linear item access.
2. Data structures are smaller- we no longer have the overhead of the
linked list as the file struts are now laid out consecutively in
memory.
3. Memory allocation has been massively reworked. Before, we would
allocate three different pieces of memory per file item- the list
struct, the file struct, and the copied filename. What this resulted
in was massive fragmentation of memory when loading filelists since
the memory allocator had to leave holes all over the place. The new
situation here now removes the need for any list item allocation;
allocates the file structs in contiguous memory (and reallocs as
necessary), leaving only the strings as individually allocated. Tests
using valgrind (massif) show some pretty significant memory
reductions on the worst case `pacman -Ql > /dev/null` (366387 files
on my machine):
Before:
Peak heap: 54,416,024 B
Useful heap: 36,840,692 B
Extra heap: 17,575,332 B
After:
Peak heap: 38,004,352 B
Useful heap: 28,101,347 B
Extra heap: 9,903,005 B
Several small helper methods have been introduced, including a list to
array conversion helper as well as a filelist merge sort that works
directly on arrays.

This allows us to capture size and mode data when building filelists
from package files. Future patches will take advantage of this newly

There is little need to expose the guts of this function even within the
library. Make it static in be_local.c, and clean up a few other things
since we know exactly where it is being called from:
* Remove unnecessary origin checks in _cache_get_*() methods- if you are
calling a cache method your package type will be correct.
* Remove sanity checks within local_db_read() itself- packages will
always have a name and version if they get this far, and the package
object will never be NULL either.
The one case calling this from outside the backend was in add.c, where
we forced a full load of a package before we duplicated it. Move this
concern elsewhere and have pkg_dup() always force a full package load
via a new force_load() function on the operations callback struct.

We can reorganize things a bit to not require reading a directory-only
entry first (or at all). This was noticed while working on some pactest
improvements, but should be a good step forward anyway.
Also make _alpm_splitname() a bit more generic in where it stores the
data it parses.

Start by converting all of our flags to a 'status' bitmask (pkgcache
status, grpcache status). Add a new 'valid' flag as well. This will let
us keep track if the database itself has been marked valid in whatever
fashion.
For local databases at the moment we ensure there are no depends files;
for sync databases we ensure the PGP signature is valid if
required/requested. The loading of the pkgcache is prohibited if the
database is invalid.

This is another step toward doing both local database validation
(ensuring we don't have depends files) and sync database validation (via
signatures if present) when the database is registered.

These new method signatures return and take handle objects to operate on
so we can move away from the idea of one global handle in the API. There
is also another important change and that deals with the setting of root
and dbpaths. These are now done at initialization time instead of using
setter methods. This allows the library to operate more safely knowing
that paths won't change underneath it.

The usefulness of this is rather limited due to it not being compiled
into production builds. When you do choose to see the output, it is
often overwhelming and not helpful. The best bet is to use a debugger
and/or well-placed fprintf() statements.

For a package to be loaded from any of our backends, these two fields
are always required upfront. Due to this fact, we don't need them to be
backend-specific operations and can just refer to the field directly.
Additionally, our static (and thus private) cache package accessors had
a NULL check on pkg before returning the relevant field. Eliminate this
since they only way they are ever called is via the packages attached
callback struct, which would have caused the NULL pointer dereference in
the first place.

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:

Fixes FS#23090, a rather serious problem where the user was completely
unable to read the local database. Even if entry->d_type is available,
the given filesystem providing it may not fill the contents, in which
case we should fall back to a stat() as we did before. In this case, the
filesystem was XFS but there may be others.

In sync_db_populate() and local_db_populate(), a NULL db->pkgcache is not
caught, allowing the functions to continue instead of exiting.
A later alpm_list_msort() call which uses alpm_list_nth() will thus traverse
invalid pointers in a non-existent db->pkgcache->list.
pm_errno is set to PM_ERR_MEMORY as _alpm_pkghash_create() will only return
NULL when we run out of memory / exceed max hash table size. The local/sync
db_populate() functions are also exited.

When reading the "desc" file in _alpm_local_db_read(), some
strings are trimmed and checked for length > 0 before their
use/duplication subsequently. They are then trimmed again
when there is no need to.
The following code snippet should illustrate it clearly:
while(fgets(line, sizeof(line), fp) &&
strlen(_alpm_strtrim(line))) {
char *linedup;
STRDUP(linedup, _alpm_strtrim(line), goto error);
info->groups = alpm_list_add(info->groups, linedup);
}
This patch removes the redundant _alpm_strtrim() calls in
_alpm_local_db_read() such as the one inside the STRDUP shown
above.

Provide a alpm_db_get_pkgcache_list() method that returns the list from
the hash object. Most usages of alpm_db_get_pkgcache are converted to
this at this stage for ease of implementation. Review whether these are
