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 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.

This allows us to separate the name and hash elements in one place and
not scatter different parsing code all over the place, including both
the frontend and backend.

This removes the need to write accessor methods for every type we have,
and simplifies the API. Any type that doesn't need magic* can be
converted in this fashion to make it easier for frontend applications to
use, as well as make it less of a pain to introduce new such structs in
the future.
* "magic" meaning something like pmpkg_t where values can be lazy loaded.

This is more in line with reality and what we have our makepkg, etc.
options named anyway.

This method is old, it doesn't adequately check for a NULL server list,
and can easily be done using better API method we provide these days.
All former users of this method can get similar results by calling
alpm_db_get_servers() and using the data from the returned server list.

This makes these functions consistent with the rest of the transaction
related API calls. We do an additional assert to ensure the handle
attached to the package is the same as the handle passed in.

Begin enforcing the need to pass a handle. This allows us to remove one
more extern handle declaration from the backend.

This requires a lot of line changes, but not many functional changes as
more often than not our handle variable is already available in some
fashion.

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.

This is the first step in a long process to remove our dependence on the
global handle variable we currently share in libalpm, with the goal to
make things a bit more thread-safe and re-entrant.

Currently we have one call that has all sorts of crazy behavior and doesn't
make a whole lot of sense. Go from one method to the normal four methods we
have for all of our other lists we use in the library to make it a lot
easier for a frontend to manipulate server lists.

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,
and moves more stuff out of sync_commit that doesn't really belong
there. This should also set the stage for simplified parallel loading of
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.

The various "level" values were a bit crazy to decipher, and we were
doing some very interesting comparisons in certain places. Break it out
into two parameters instead so we can seperate the type from the extra
information display, and do things accordingly.
Nothing changes with the display of any of the five types we currently
show: -Si, -Sii, -Qi, -Qii, -Qip.
Something to note- we should expose the PKG_FROM enum type somehow, this
patch leaves the door open to do that quite easily.

Currently the only error case then when handle == NULL.
However several handle functions return -1 on this error,
and a uniform API makes things simpler.
