Clearly the old code was more elegant (NULL cache indicated "not loaded"),
but it had some drawbacks, so from now on we indicate the state of caches
explicitly.
Old drawbacks:
When we had an empty database (unstable), libalpm called db_populate after
every pkgcache access, because NULL pkgcache indicated "not loaded" state.
This is not a common case, but the same situation can happen with grpcache,
which is more problematic: If the user had a custom repo with no groups,
grpcache was always NULL. (grpcache is also loaded per database.) Thus
every get_grpcache call induced a load_grpcache operation, so the benefits
of grpcache was completely lost.

The HoldPkg feature is even more important when the packages to be held are
pulled automatically by pacman, in a -Rc and -Rs operation. Before, it only
applied when the packages were explicitly requested by the user to be
removed. This patch extends holdpkg to -Rc and -Rs by doing the HoldPkg
check just before trans_commit.
Additionally, the whole HoldPkg stuff was moved to the front-end.
I changed the default behavior to "don't remove", so I modified remove030.py
pactest as well.

Aaron said to consider libdownload a dead project so libdownload support was
removed to more easily fix libfetch one (otherwise many ifdef needed).
There was no direct replacement for ferror to detect an error while
downloading. So instead, I added a check at the end to see if the file was
fully downloaded, which is just a small chunk of code taken from here:

This patch started as a simple typo fix (pugre instead of purge in two
places), as well as a fix of a test which was using PURGE_TARGETS instead of
$PURGE_TARGETS.
It evolved in a slight handling change of the OPTIONS which have a variable
affecting their behavior (strip STRIP_DIRS, docs DOC_DIRS, zipman MAN_DIRS
and purge PURGE_TARGETS), as well as a clarification in makepkg.conf. Now
when a variable is undefined or empty, the corresponding option will have no
effect. It looked weird to have a fallback when a option is defined but
empty, it seems more natural to not have any fallbacks.
Also re-enable docs by default. It seems arbitrary to delete files from
packages by default, and it would be more vanilla and distro agnostic to
keep them. docs was also the only negated option.

Commit 4b183bf9 moved makepkg.conf sourcing to after the parsing
of options, breaking the -p option and --help output. The solution
is to move BUILDSCRIPT out of makepkg.conf. This patch moves the
definition BUILDSCRIPT back to makepkg itself and adds configure
option to allow easy changing of this value during build time.

Adds defined options to the PKGINFO file in the form of "makepkgopt =".
It may be useful to be able to add these to the pacman DB at some point
as that would allow (e.g.) checking which packages have had their docs

Provides a MAN_DIRS variable in makepkg.conf which can be used
to specify folders to look for manual (man and info) pages to be
compressed. Useful for packages that install to /opt. Also
clarifies that "zipman" means "zip manuals" and covers both man
and info pages.

Changelogs and install files were getting extracted into the local
db folder before it was manually created. This created issues for
uses with 0077 umasks and was highlighted with the new sudo handling
of umasks (FS#12263).
This moves the local db creation to its own function which is called
before the start of package archive extraction. Also, added a check
that the folder is actually created.
