This changes the signature of _alpm_pkg_dup() to return an integer error
code and provide the new package in a passed pointer argument. All
callers are now more robust with checking the return value of this
function to ensure a fatal error did not occur.
We allow load failures to proceed as otherwise we have a chicken and egg
problem- if a 'desc' local database entry is missing, the best way of
restoring said file is `pacman -Sf --dbonly packagename`. This patch
fixes a segfault that was occurring in this case.
Fixes the segfault reported in FS#25667.

The functions alpm_db_get_name(), alpm_pkg_get_name(), and
alpm_pkg_get_version() are not necessary at all, so remove the calling
and indirection when used in the backend, which makes things slightly
more efficient and reduces code size.

We did a good job checking this in add.c, but not necessarily anywhere
else. Fix this up by adding checks into dload.c, remove.c, and conf.c in
the frontend. Also add loggers where appropriate and make the message
syntax more consistent.

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 addresses FS#25141. We shouldn't remove every empty directory we
come across during the removal process unless it is truly not known to
any other package. This will prevent removal of essential directories
such as '/var/lock/'.
This is accomplished by first checking the empty/non-empty status of a
directory, which was previously done implicitly by calling rmdir() and
ignoring errors. We do this to avoid the next (new) check in most cases,
which is to look at all local packages to see if the to-be-removed
directory is present in another packages' filelist. If we do not find it
anywhere, then we remove it, else we keep the file around.
The pactest has been updated to test more cases, as well as finding a
flaw in the original expected to fail case- we need separate DIR and
FILE based EXIST rules.

The bulk of this commit is adding new tests to ensure the new behavior
works without disrupting old behavior. This is a relatively sane maneuver
when a package adds a conf file (e.g. '/etc/mercurial/hgrc') that was
not previously in the package, but it is placed in the backup array. In
essence, we can treat the existing file as having always been a part of
the package and do our normal compare/install as pacnew logic checks.

This code duplication has always been a rather clumsy casuality of
fixing some past upgrade issues. Unify the removal code across upgrade
and remove operations into a new _alpm_remove_single_package() method
wihch makes it very clear how we handle upgrade and remove differently,
via several conditionals on newpkg.
This commit highlights interesting behavior such as the fact that the
implicit removal in every package upgrade never gets transaction events
or progress callbacks.

We can readily detect the first node in a list by checking if
node->prev->next is NULL. So there is no need to pass the head
of the list to this function and its prototype now looks like
all the other item accessors.

We didn't do due diligence before and ensure prior pm_errno values
weren't influencing what happened in further ALPM calls. I observed one
case of early setup code setting pm_errno to PM_ERR_WRONG_ARGS and that
flag persisting the entire time we were calling library code.
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.
Several other other places only need a simple 'set to zero' of the
pm_errno field.

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

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:

Read the package information for sync/local databases into a pmpkghash_t
structure.
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
better accessing the hash table directly at a later stage.

It's likely that these interfaces will break sooner or later, now that
pacman no longer uses them.
So better force the two people who use them to migrate their code to the
new add_pkg/remove_pkg interface, which is very easy anyway.
