If we allow _parseconfig to continue processing when section is not defined,
then we have the potential to segfault during strcmp calls. This is no good.
For some reason, we had existing logic that tested this case but only if it
was processing and 'Include' directive. Expand the check to check for a NULL
section in all cases, and print an error message if this is the case.

Fix for FS#9176.
A previous commit (6e8daa553b) already forced all database files to 644.
Now the directories are also forced to 755.
Additionally, repo-add now sets the umask to 022, just like makepkg does, to
fix the problem at its root.

-Qg was handled twice.
--ignore completed on all installed packages instead of all
packages.
--ignoregroup had a special handling that seems unnecessary. It
wasn't done for --ignore, and it apparently works fine without anyway.

For example, if the cachedir is a broken symlink or a non writable
directory, pacman fallbacks to /tmp/. Just before doing that, it freed the
handle->cachedirs list twice !
once in _alpm_filecache_setup, and once in alpm_option_set_cachedirs. So the
first one was removed.
Fixes FS#9186.

In the old code 'alpm_list_diff(_alpm_db_get_pkgcache(db), dblist,

[Xav: In my opinion, computing both dblist and modified in one for loop also makes
the code clearer, besides being more efficient.
Also renamed joined to targets since I also find that clearer.]

Fixes FS#9147, where issuing a ctrl-C at a prompt puts the users prompt on
the same line as our question. This can also occur during download bars.
Although we might end up putting one too many newlines to the screen now, it
is better than not putting one at all.
Also update the copyright in pacman.c.

It turns out the orphan name was misleading. Real orphans are packages
installed as dependency no longer required by any others (-Qtd).
The -t option only shows package not required by any others, so --unrequired
describes it better.

I also changed it for fixing FS#8763 :
if there is exactly one provider, pacman will pull it and print a warning.
if there are several providers, pacman will list them and fail. It's up to
the user to pick one. Add sync501 pactest to reflect that.
Document the following:
* -R can take a group
* -S can take a group and provision
I also split up the -S description into multiple paragraphs because it
was getting too large.

The previous fileconflict check (package vs filesystem) skipped the conflict
when the file on the filesystem was a directory or a symlink to a directory,
no matter what the file in the package was.
Now, the conflict will only be skipped if the file in the package is a
directory (so compatible with a dir or a dir symlink on the filesystem).
So in the case of 8156 (new fileconflict003 pactest for this case), instead
of silently ignoring the extraction of the test symlink, pacman will now
fail because of a file conflict between the test symlink in the pkg2 package
and the test directory on the filesystem.

Trying to make a symlink at the top level previously made pactest fail.
For example : "test -> test2/" as a file in a package.
The path to the test symlink was empty in this case, but the python code
still tried to chdir in "", which failed.

By attempting to stat the cachedir when we load the pacman config, pacman
bails out if it is a non-existant directory, even if it will never be
needed. This is unfortunate as it is only used for sync transactions anyway.
Instead, wait until we need it in _alpm_filecache_setup to actually do
anything.

Originally noticed in FS#9024, but was fixed in previous changes anyway.
However, it doesn't hurt to still check it.
Also add a pactest from Chantry Xavier for the original problem to ensure
