The days of fakeroot being error ridden are long gone, so there is no
valid reason to run makepkg as root.

1. Packagers who want to test the package() function, i.e. to check the content
of the pkg/ folder.
2. Developers who want to check how the packaged version of a program looks, in
other words how the pkg/ folder looks.
3. For users of systems with no port tree, makepkg can ease package creation.
However the resulting archive of the whole makepkg process is often useless.
For all situations, makepkg will usually be called several times. But no archive
(the final package) is needed in any cases. The archive creation ends up being a
waste of time and resource, especially for big applications and slow machines.
Since this option aborts the process prematurely, it behaves like the
-o,--nobuild option, i.e. any other option acting on later stages in the process
will be automatically discarded. For --noarchive, it means that in
$ makepkg --noarchive --install
the '--install' option does not do anything.

Add a "Usage" key to the repo section of the config which allows for the
tokens "Search", "Install", "Upgrade", "All", which correspond to values
in the alpm_db_usage_t enum. Users can specify "Usage" multiple times
for a given repo, or multiple flags per "Usage" line and they will be
OR'd together. If unspecified, the default is full usage of the repo.

When maintaining a custom repo, often it is undesirable to retain older
versions of packages. This patch adds the --remove option to remove the
current package file and it's signature from disk before adding the new
one to the database. Documentation is also updated. This is an optional
flag and default behaviour (leaving ondisk files alone) is not changed.

Pacman currently bails when trying to extract a file over a directory
when using --force. Instead of ignoring all conflict, perform the
check and skip any file-file conflicts. Conflicts between directories
and files are still flagged and cause the transation to abort.
As a bonus, we now know about files changing packages when using
--force, so we can skip removing them fixing upgrade046.
