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.

This patch introduces the following function name convention:
_compute_ in function name: the return value must be freed.
_get_ in function name: the return value must not be freed.

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:

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.

Pacman currently logs .pacnew warnings to pacman.log but a similar history
of .pacsave warnings isn't kept. The user should be able to search
pacman.log to discover when and where all .pac* files were created by
pacman.

We never had a call to pclose() in here before, leaving our file descriptor
in some sort of limbo state. In addition, clean up some of the other logic
such as directly calling exit(1) on a popen() failure rather than going to
our cleanup block, and handling and respecting the exit status of the
subprocess correctly.

It is possible to throw EINTR from a system call such as open(), close(), or
waitpid() if custom signal handlers are set up and they are not initialized
with the SA_RESTART flag. This was noticed by Andreas Radke when ^C (SIGINT)
was given during the call to waitpid(), causing it to throw the EINTR error
and we could not accommodate it.
Simply wrap these calls in a simple loop that allows us to retry the call if
interrupted.
