May help debug issues we come across with proxy behavior (e.g. those pesky
segfaults) as well as be informative to the user when things aren't working
quite right. Addresses FS#12396.

If a Server specified in pacman.conf had a trailing slash, libalpm ended up
building URLs with double slashes, and this broke libdownload with errors
like the following one :
error: failed retrieving file 'redland-1.0.8-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz'
from 192.168.0.90 : Command okay
So the public function alpm_db_set_server will make sure to remove the
trailing slash of servers. For the private function
_alpm_download_single_file, I only added a comment.

Before commit fc48dc31, file:/// urls forced the use of the internal
downloader (libdownload), because the default XferCommand, wget, does not
handle them. We tried to move away from forcing usage of libdownload, so
this commit implemented the handling of file:/// urls manually. However,
this implementation is way too basic. It does not handle the progress bar,
thus nothing at all appears in pacman's output when a file: repo is
synchronized, or when a file is downloaded from a sync repo. Also, it is not
able to detect when the repo is already up-to-date. When libdownload was
used, both were handled.
It seems better to just drop this implementation for now. All users who use
libdownload will get the much better file:// handling back. For the users of
XferCommand, it will be more problematic, but they have several options:
1) Switch to a downloader handling file:// (wget doesn't, but curl does for
example).
2) Drop the file:// repo, and set up light http or ftp servers instead.
Consider that going that way would make this repo available for the whole
local network, which can be useful.
3) Switch back to libdownload, which works perfectly for many users.

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.

This should remove the need for any additional patching to run on platforms
that have libfetch available but not libdownload. It isn't the prettiest,
but we have kept our libdownload impact down to just a few files, so it can
be easily done.

Add a new --disable-internal-download flag to configure allowing the
internal download code to be skipped. This will be helpful on platforms that
currently don't support either libdownload or libfetch (such as Cygwin) and
for just compiling a lighter weight pacman binary.
This was made really easy by our recent refactoring of the download code
into separate internal and external functions, as well as some error code
cleanup.

In the file:// download case, we didn't free the return from get_destfile()
after we were done with it. Fix it. (Found with xfercommand001.py)

This should be the main step in the download refactoring initiated by commit
81a2a06818.
The stub functions introduced by that commit were implemented.
The big download code was mostly composed of two steps, and so it has been
naturally splitted in two functions : download_external and download_internal
file:/// urls are now handled manually, instead of forcing the use of the
internal downloader.
Thanks to Dan for fixing the remaining issues and cleaning up the patch :)

I screwed up originally when I accepted the TotalDownload patch,
8ec27835f4. I didn't realize how deeply it
modified libalpm and I probably shouldn't have let it do what it did. This
commit reverts much of what that patch added in order to clean up our
internal function calls. We can find another way to do it right down the
road here but for now it has to go.

Remove what was a pretty weird abstraction in the libalpm backend. Instead
of parsing server URLs as we get them (of which we don't usually use more
than a handful anyway), wait until they are actually used, which allows us
to store them as a simple string list instead. This allows us to remove a
lot of code, and will greatly simplify the continuing refactoring of the
download code.

Add new stub functions that work by calling the existing (terrible) download
forreal function, which needs a serious overhaul. Hide the existing
functions and switch all former users to the new functions.

This is the first in what will be a series of patches to clean up the
current download code in libalpm. Start by moving download code out of
server.c and into download.c.
