The precedence goes as follows: signature > sha256sum > md5sum
Add some logic and helper methods to check what we have available when
loading a package, and then only check what is necessary to verify the
package. This should speed up sync database verifies as we no longer
will be doing both a checksum and a signature validation.

We did this with depends way back in commit c244cfecf6 in 2007. We
can do it with these fields as well.
Of note is the inclusion of provides even though only '=' is supported-
we'll parse other things, but no guarantees are given as to behavior,
which is more or less similar to before since we only looked for the
equals sign.
Also of note is the non-inclusion of optdepends; this will likely be
resolved down the road.
The biggest benefactors of this change will be the resolving code that
formerly had to parse and reparse several of these fields; it only
happens once now at load time. This does lead to the disadvantage that
we will now always be parsing this information up front even if we never
need it in the split form, but as these are uncommon fields and our
parser is quite efficient it shouldn't be a big concern.

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,

This means creating a new struct which can pass more descriptive data
from the back end sync functions to the downloader. In particular, we're
interested in the download size read from the sync DB. When the remote
server reports a size larger than this (via a content-length header),
abort the transfer.
In cases where the size is unknown, we set a hard upper limit of:
* 25MiB for a sync DB
* 16KiB for a signature
For reference, 25MiB is more than twice the size of all of the current
binary repos (with files) combined, and 16KiB is a truly gargantuan
signature.

URLs might end with a slash and follow redirects, or could be a
generated by a script such as /getpkg.php?id=12345. In both cases, we
may have a better filename that we can write to, taken from either
content-disposition header, or the effective URL.
Specific to the first case, we write to a temporary file of the format
'alpmtmp.XXXXXX', where XXXXXX is randomized by mkstemp(3). Since this
is a randomly generated file, we cannot support resuming and the file is
unlinked in the event of an interrupt.
We also run into the possibility of changing out the filename from under
alpm on a -U operation, so callers of _alpm_download can optionally pass
a pointer to a *char to be filled in by curl_download_internal with the
actual filename we wrote to. Any sync operation will pass a NULL pointer
here, as we rely on specific names for packages from a mirror.

They are placeholders, but important for things like trying to re-sync a
database missing a signature. By using the alpm_db_validity() method at
the right time, a client can take the appropriate action with these
invalid databases as necessary.
In pacman's case, we disallow just about anything that involves looking
at a sync database outside of an '-Sy' operation (although we do check
the validity immediately after). A few operations are still permitted-
'-Q' ops that don't touch sync databases as well as '-R'.

This gives us more granularity than the former Never/Optional/Always
trifecta. The frontend still uses these values temporarily but that will
be changed in a future patch.
* Use 'siglevel' consistenly in method names, 'level' as variable name
* The level becomes an enum bitmask value for flexibility
* Signature check methods now return a array of status codes rather than
a simple integer success/failure value. This allows callers to
determine whether things such as an unknown signature are valid.
* Specific signature error codes mostly disappear in favor of the above
returned status code; pm_errno is now set only to PKG_INVALID_SIG or
DB_INVALID_SIG as appropriate.

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.
Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
This is the ideal place to do it as all clients should be checking the
return value and ensuring there are no errors. This is similar to
pkg_load().
We also add an additional step of validation after we download a new
database; a subsequent '-y' operation can potentially invalidate the
original check at registration time.
Note that this implementation is still a bit naive; if a signature is
invalid it is currently impossible to refresh and re-download the file
without manually deleting it first. Similarly, if one downloads a
database and the check fails, the database object is still there and can
be used. These shortcomings will be addressed in a future commit.

Add a new CHECK_HANDLE() macro that does two things: 1) ensures the
handle variable passed to it is non-NULL and 2) clears any existing
pm_errno flag set on the handle. This macro can replace many places we
used the ASSERT(handle != NULL, ...) pattern before.

This allows several different scenarios to customize behavior:

- package via direct URL
- package signature via direct URL (req'd and optional)
* For databases, we need signatures from the same mirror, so structure

In most (all?) cases, we will process all files for a given sync database
entry sequentially. The code currently does an _alpm_pkg_find() for every
file in the database, but we had the "current" package readily available.
Shift some local variables around a bit to expose this to sync_db_read() and
use it if the package is the correct one.
On my system, this cuts calls to _alpm_pkg_find() from 20,769 to 10,349
calls during a -Qu operation, and results in a ~30% speedup of the same
operation (0.35 sec -> 0.27 sec). This benefit should be apparent anywhere

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%.
