Commit 34e1413d75 attempted to implement lazy loading of package databases.
Although it took care of my main complaint (creating the database directory
if it didn't exist), it didn't allow sync repos to be registered before
alpm_option_set_dbpath() had been called.
With this patch, we no longer compute the individual repository DB paths
until necessary, allowing full lazy loading to work as intended, and
allowing us to drop the extra setlibpath() calls from the frontend. This
allows the changes introduced in a2cd48960 (but later reverted) to be added
back in again.

After commit 0da96abc, pacman always asks user confirmation for -U, so it is
more coherent to doing that for -R, too.
Btw, most users use -Rs always, so they won't notice any change. In the old
code the -Ru operation was forgotten: Though it is a not "dangerous" operation,
but the target list can be changed by that, too.
Non-interactive scripts should always use --noconfirm (unexpected questions can
be asked by all transactions). [That's why we should always default to the
safest answers.]
I've also added a pkglist != NULL sanity check (because -Ru can empty target
list in trans_prepare part).

It was probably a bad idea to modify the target directly in case of
repo/pkg syntax.
Duplicating it also allows us to keep the original target string, which
is more informative when printing errors.
Also remove a duplicated error message from libalpm, and improve the
message already returned to the frontend.
$ pacman -S foo/bar
before
error: repository 'foo' not found
error: 'bar': no such repository
after
error: 'foo/bar': could not find repository for target

This doesn't quite work, as can be seen by the pactest results:
Total = 179
Pass = 108 ( 60.34%)
Expected Fail = 5 ( 2.79%)
Unexpected Pass = 0 ( 0.00%)
Fail = 66 ( 36.87%)
If you peek inside '_alpm_db_new' when it gets called for the sync
databases, the base dbpath is still at the default value, causing things
like pactest to fail miserably. We need some further work to do fully lazy
loading, and that belongs on master, not maint.
This reverts commit a2cd48960e.

This basically started with this change :
/* Transaction */
struct __pmtrans_t {
- pmtranstype_t type;
pmtransflag_t flags;
pmtransstate_t state;
- alpm_list_t *packages; /* list of (pmpkg_t *) */
+ alpm_list_t *add; /* list of (pmpkg_t *) */
+ alpm_list_t *remove; /* list of (pmpkg_t *) */
And then I have to modify all the code accordingly.
This patch utilizes the power of sync.c to fix FS#3492 and FS#5798.
Now an upgrade transaction is just a sync transaction internally (in alpm),
so all sync features are available with -U as well:
* conflict resolving
* sync dependencies from sync repos
* remove unresolvable targets
See http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2009-June/008725.html
for the concept.
We use "mixed" target list, where PKG_FROM_FILE origin indicates local
package file, PKG_FROM_CACHE indicates sync package. The front-end can add
only one type of packages (depending on transaction type) atm, but if alpm
resolves dependencies for -U, we may get a real mixed trans->packages list.
_alpm_pkg_free_trans() was modified so that it can handle both target types
_alpm_add_prepare() was removed, we use _alpm_sync_prepare() instead
_alpm_add_commit() was renamed to _alpm_upgrade_targets()
sync.c (and deps.c) was modified slightly to handle mixed target lists,
the modifications are straightforward. There is one notable change here: We
don't create new upgrade trans in sync.c, we replace the pkgcache entries
with the loaded package files in the target list (this is a bit hackish) and
call _alpm_upgrade_targets(). This implies a TODO (pkg->origin_data.db is
not accessible anymore), but it doesn't hurt anything with pacman front-end,
so it will be fixed later (otherwise this patch would be huge).
I updated the documentation of -U and I added a new pactest, upgrade090.py,
to test the syncdeps feature of -U.

When a conflict is detected, pacman asks if the user wants to remove
the conflicting package. In many cases this is a bad idea. e.g.
udev conflicts with initscripts (initscripts<2009.07).
Remove initscripts [Y/n]
This changes the query to [y/N].
The --noconfirm behavior has been also changed, because it chooses the
default answer. Since the yes answer is more interesting in our pactests
dealing with conflicts, I inserted '--ask=4' to all of them with one
exception: sync042.py tests the no answer.
(I also fixed a typo in sync043.py)

This re-implements the --ask option which was removed in commit
1ff8e7f364.
This option does not have to be exposed to the user (help,doc,etc), but is
very very useful for pactest if we want to have more coverage there.
This was rewritten in a smarter way, without code duplication. And with a
different behavior : this option is now only used to inverse default
behavior to questions.
We still use bit operations based on the following struct :
/* Transaction Conversations (ie, questions) */
typedef enum _pmtransconv_t {
PM_TRANS_CONV_INSTALL_IGNOREPKG = 0x01,
PM_TRANS_CONV_REPLACE_PKG = 0x02,
PM_TRANS_CONV_CONFLICT_PKG = 0x04,
PM_TRANS_CONV_CORRUPTED_PKG = 0x08,
PM_TRANS_CONV_LOCAL_NEWER = 0x10,
PM_TRANS_CONV_REMOVE_PKGS = 0x20,
} pmtransconv_t;
for each conv matched, the default answer is inversed.
--ask 0 : all default answers are preserved
--ask 4 : only conflict question is inversed
--ask 63 : all questions are inversed (63 == 1+2+4+8+16+32)

Sometimes "foo conflicts with bar" information is not enough, see this
thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77647. That's why I added
a new reason field to our pmconflict_t struct that stores the packager-
defined conflict that induced the fact that package1 conflicts with
package2.
I modified the front-end (in callback.c, sync.c, upgrade.c) to print this
new information as well.

The main reason for this change is that scripts could not catch the removed
targets with -S --noconfirm (the return value was 0). So the effect of a
pacman command may have differed from the expected one. Moreover, for my
taste the default no answer is better (I wanted to install the specified
targets, not a subset of them).
I had to change some pactest files as well, because now the default behavior
is not to remove unresolvable targets. In fact, the only pactest file that
tested this feature was ignore005.py.

Lazy opening of databases is supported since 34e1413d75.
We don't need that setlibpath call each time we register a database.
Besides this caused a memleak in case setlibpath failed, because setlibpath
exit directly and we did not do the cleanup part (section string was not
freed, and a file descriptor remained open).
