If the user switches from unstable repo to a stable one, it is quite hard to
sync its system with the new repo (the user will see many "Local is newer
than stable" messages, nothing more). That's why I introduced -Suu, which
treats a sync package like an upgrade, iff the package version doesn't match
with the local one's.
I added a new pactest (sync104.py) to test this, and I updated the
documentation of -Su.

pmsyncpkg_t data sructure was removed:
1. pmpkg_t.reason is used instead of pmsyncpkg_t.newreason. (The target
packages come from sync repos, so we can use this field without any
problems. Upgrade transaction also uses this field to store this info.)
2. pmsyncpkg_t.removes was moved to pmpkg_t.removes.
This step requires careful programming, because we don't duplicate packages
when we add them to trans->packages. So we modify sync pkgcache when we
add this transaction-only info to our package. Hence it is important to
free this list when we remove any package from the target list
(remove_unresolvable, remove_conflicts, trans_free), otherwise this could
confuse the new sync transactions (with non-pacman GUI).
Overall, our code became ~100 line shorter, and we can call our helper
functions directly on trans->packages in sync.c, we don't need to maintain
parallel package lists.

This reverts commit 9558639d80.
This change was wrong, popen does require /bin/sh in a subchroot.
1) pacman -S lilo -r root
Notice no error
2) rm root/bin/sh ; pacman -S lilo -r root
Notice an error :
error: scriptlet failed to execute correctly
Actually, we already get an explicit error here, when popen is run, so there
is no need to check for bin/sh explicitely.
Besides this check was problematic in some cases. For example, bash itself
has a scriptlet, but only post_install and post_upgrade, no pre_install and
pre_upgrade. However, since bash has a scriptlet, runscriptlet will also be
called before bash is installed. It won't do anything since the scriptlet
has no pre_install function. But if we keep the check, we will still get
"error : no /bin/sh".

This is a bug I noticed 2 years ago :
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-logging-output-crazy-to11437357.html#a11479679
I thought I fixed it with 57d77eab32
But the bug was still here. Reading man fork, this part caught my attention:
* The child inherits copies of the parent's set of open file
descriptors. Each file descriptor in the child refers to the same open
file description (see open(2)) as the corresponding file descriptor in the
parent. This means that the two descriptors share open file status
flags, current file offset, and signal-driven I/O attributes (see the
description of F_SETOWN and F_SETSIG in fcntl(2)).
Since the open file descriptors are inherited, it is probably a good idea to
flush them before forking.

We never had a call to pclose() in here before, leaving our file descriptor

It is possible to throw EINTR from a system call such as open(), close(), or
waitpid() if custom signal handlers are set up and they are not initialized
with the SA_RESTART flag. This was noticed by Andreas Radke when ^C (SIGINT)
was given during the call to waitpid(), causing it to throw the EINTR error
and we could not accommodate it.
Simply wrap these calls in a simple loop that allows us to retry the call if
interrupted.

Commit 8240da6cb3 broke some alpm hierarchy
and introduced a new memleak (trans->packages was never freed in case of add
transaction, even if the transaction wasn't committed), so it is reverted
now.
We follow a different approach to reduce memory usage:
_alpm_db_add_pkgincache doesn't duplicate the whole package before adding
it to the cache, only the package name and version (INFRQ_BASE).
This method needs very small extra memory (compared to the reverted method),
and after transaction commit we use less memory than before (since the
big 'files' fields are not copied to cache), this is useful in GUIs.
Note: The old add_pkgincache was a bit broken, since pkg->origin wasn't
filled in correctly.

Its implementation was quite broken:
* add_loadtarget() might have silently filtered out some targets when
replacing an older version.
* This was used in sync.c to determine whether a target is implicit or not,
which is incorrect behavior. Before this patch we silently removed user
confirmed replacements; now we always warn on a replacement.
* remove001.py behavior was quite odd in adding same target 5 times to the
target list, we can change this behavior to be a failure.

The alpm_get_upgrades was exactly the same as find_replacements +
_alpm_sync_sysupgrade, except that it automatically made the eventual
replacements, without asking the user : Replace %s with %s/%s? [Y/n]
The replace question, asked in find_replacements. can now be skipped by
using a NULL trans argument, so that we get the same behavior as with
alpm_get_upgrades.
So alpm_db_get_upgrades() can now be replaced by
alpm_sync_sysupgrade(db_local, syncdbs).

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.

Commit 4853a4aad9 used the tmpdir variable
for checking the existence of /bin/sh, without resetting it.
This caused /bin/sh to be deleted during the cleanup part, as soon as a scriptlet
other than pre_upgrade or pre_install was executed.
For example, on the first post_upgrade during a -Su.
I introduced two variables : clean_tmpdir and restore_cwd, for deciding what should
be done in the cleanup part.

This code assumed that DBPath was under RootDir, while this is not necessarily the case :
pacman doesn't enforce anymore than DBPath is under RootDir.
So now, all scriptlets will be put somewhere in RootDir/tmp/, so that when it chroots in RootDir,
the scriptlets are still available inside the chroot.
This also removes the need of normalizing both dbpath and rootdir, in order to do computation on the paths.

My two previous hacks related to this part
(8038190c7c and
b15a5194d1) were caused by the lack of
understanding of a feature introduced a while ago:
Better control over CTRL-C interruptions -- do not leave the DB in an
inconsistent state (54008798ef).
Now I have been looking at this commit, and the added feature is indeed
interesting. The main problem I had with it is that it does a rather
unusual use of alpm_trans_release, which caused a few problems that I tried
to fix in a weird way. I think these problems were caused by the fact that
there weren't any difference between "interrupt transaction" and "release a
transaction which failed" actions from the alpm_trans_release POV. So I
decided to add a new function instead, alpm_trans_interrupt, which is
called on Ctrl+C, and which only sets trans->state to STATE_INTERRUPTED so
that remove_commit and add_commit can exit cleanly at a safe moment. This
allowed me to revert my two previous hacks as well.
Also ensure we handle SIGINT correctly in all cases- if a transaction is
not ongoing, then we can free the transaction and exit quickly.

This patch cleans up and fix the _alpm_trans_update_depends function
and ensure that all requiredby fields are filled in case of multiple satisfiers
(previously, the handling of mutliple satisfiers in that function was inconsistent).
This makes a special case handling of requiredby in commit_single_pkg() obsolete,
and so allows cleaning that code as well.
Also fixed upgrade056 pactest because :
1) the requiredby fields were wrong, and this wouldn't happen with the fixed _alpm_trans_update_depends().
2) this is a very unusual case anyway (and handling all corner cases combined to a broken database
seems nearly impossible to achieve).
