This adds a field in the package struct for this checksum type as well
as allowing access via the API to it. The frontend is now able to

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

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.

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.

Both md5sum verification and PGP verification can and should be done at
package load time. This allows verification to happen as early as
possible for packages provided by filename and loaded in the frontend,

packages later down the road.

Given that we offer no transparency into the pmpgpsig_t type, we don't
really need to expose it outside of the library, and at this point, we
don't need it at all. Don't decode anything except when checking
signatures. For packages/files not from a sync database, we now just
read the signature file directly anyway.
Also push the decoding logic down further into the check method so we
don't need this hanging out in a less than ideal place. This will make
it easier to conditionally compile things down the road.

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.

Instead, go the same route we have always taken with version-release in
libalpm and treat it all as one piece of information. Makepkg is the only
script that knows about epoch as a distinct value; from there on out we will
parse out the components as necessary.
This makes the code a lot simpler as far as epoch handling goes. The
downside here is that we are tossing some compatibility to the wind;
packages using force will have to be rebuilt with an incremented epoch to
keep their special status.

Hopefully we've finally arrived at package handling nirvana, or at least
this commit will get us a heck of a lot closer. The former method of getting
the depends list for a package was the following:
1. call alpm_pkg_get_depends()
2. this method would check if the package came from the cache
3. if so, ensure our cache level is correct, otherwise call db_load
4. finally return the depends list
Why did this suck? Because getting the depends list from the package
shouldn't care about whether the package was loaded from a file, from the
'package cache', or some other system which we can't even use because the
damn thing is so complicated. It should just return the depends list.
So what does this commit change? It adds a pointer to a struct of function
pointers to every package for all of these 'package operations' as I've
decided to call them (I know, sounds completely straightforward, right?). So
now when we call an alpm_pkg_get-* function, we don't do any of the cache
logic or anything else there- we let the actual backend handle it by
delegating all work to the method at pkg->ops->get_depends.
Now that be_package has achieved equal status with be_files, we can treat
packages from these completely different load points differently. We know a
package loaded from a zip file will have all of its fields populated, so
we can set up all its accessor functions to be direct accessors. On the
other hand, the packages loaded from the local and sync DBs are not always
fully-loaded, so their accessor functions are routed through the same logic
as before.
Net result? More code. However, this code now make it roughly 52 times
easier to open the door to something like a read-only tar.gz database
backend.
Are you still reading? I'm impressed. Looking at the patch will probably be
clearer than this long-winded explanation.

[Allan: rebase and adjust]
Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
Implement this seemingly simple change in package.h:
typedef enum _pmpkgfrom_t {
- PKG_FROM_CACHE = 1,
- PKG_FROM_FILE
+ PKG_FROM_FILE = 1,
+ PKG_FROM_LOCALDB,
+ PKG_FROM_SYNCDB
} pmpkgfrom_t;
which requires flushing out several assumptions from around the codebase
with regards to usage of the PKG_FROM_CACHE value. Make some changes where
required to allow the switch, and now the correct value should be set (via a
crude hack) depending on whether a package was loaded as an entry in a local
db or a sync db.

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.

We have been using unsigned long as a file size type for a while, which
works but isn't quite correct and could easily break. Worse was probably our
use of int in the download callback functions, which could be restrictive
for packages > 2GB in size.
Switch all file size variables to use off_t, which is the preferred type for
file sizes. Note that at least on Linux, all applications compiled against
libalpm must now be sure to use large file support, where _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
is defined to be 64 or there will be some weird issues that crop up.

Using the graph structures that Nagy set up for dependency sorting, we now
do a similar process for deltas. Load up all of the deltas into a graph
object on which we can then apply Dijkstra's algorithm, using the new weight
field of graph struct.
We initialize the nodes weight using the base files that we can use in our
filecache (both filename and md5sum must match). The algorithm then picks
the best path among those that can be resolved.
Note that this algorithm has a few advantages over the old one:
1. It is completely file agnostic. These delta chains do not have to consist
of package files- this could be adopted to do delta-fied DBs.
2. It does not use the local_db anymore, or even care if a package or file
is currently installed. Instead, it only looks in the filecache for files
and packages that match delta chain entries.
