This fixes: FS#15675 - pacman can not determine ownership of dangling
symlinks
Using lstat seems more correct than stat for the -Qo operation anyway.

If the user switches from unstable repo to a stable one, it is quite hard to
sync its system with the new repo (the user will see many "Local is newer
than stable" messages, nothing more). That's why I introduced -Suu, which
treats a sync package like an upgrade, iff the package version doesn't match
with the local one's.
I added a new pactest (sync104.py) to test this, and I updated the
documentation of -Su.

This implements FS#13877. Add a new option "-Qk" which checks if all of the
files for a given package (or packages) are really on the system (i.e. not
accidentally deleted). This can be combined with filters and other display
options. It also respects both the --quiet and --verbose flags to give
varying levels of output.

This fixes FS#14899. When running an -Sp operation without servers
configured for a repository, we would segfault, so add an assert to the
backend method returning the first server preventing a null pointer
dereference.
In addition, add a new error code to libalpm that indicates we have no
servers configured for a repository. This makes -Sy and -S <package>
operations fail gracefully and helpfully when a repo is set up with no
servers, as the default mirrorlist in Arch is provided this way.

FS#8905 is fixed. The front-end passes PM_TRANS_FLAG_NOLOCK to the back-end,
so it doesn't lock the database. That's why we don't need root anymore.
I reworked (and renamed) needs_transaction() accordingly. I also added
missing -Sc check there (for example, -Sci didn't print non-root error, but
pacman wanted to lock the database).

pmsyncpkg_t data sructure was removed:
1. pmpkg_t.reason is used instead of pmsyncpkg_t.newreason. (The target
packages come from sync repos, so we can use this field without any
problems. Upgrade transaction also uses this field to store this info.)
2. pmsyncpkg_t.removes was moved to pmpkg_t.removes.
This step requires careful programming, because we don't duplicate packages
when we add them to trans->packages. So we modify sync pkgcache when we
add this transaction-only info to our package. Hence it is important to
free this list when we remove any package from the target list
(remove_unresolvable, remove_conflicts, trans_free), otherwise this could
confuse the new sync transactions (with non-pacman GUI).
Overall, our code became ~100 line shorter, and we can call our helper
functions directly on trans->packages in sync.c, we don't need to maintain
parallel package lists.

Enabled a new prompt to ask the user if they'd like to remove
unresolvable packages from the transaction rather than failing it.
Many pactest tests that used to fail now return success codes, because
pacman now issues a prompt allowing the user to cancel rather than
failing many transactions, and the pactest scripts always choose to
cancel with no error rather than failing. The only net effect is that
the return status of pacman is now 0 in cases where it used to be
nonzero.

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.

This fixes FS#11339, which is a regression of commit 89c2c5196:
When totaldownload is enabled, the database downloading percent (-Sy) is
always at 0. That is because we have no guarantee that the totaldownload
callback was called by libalpm. In particular, it is not called (and it
would not make sense to) when a single file is downloaded, like it is the
case with databases.
So the correct way to detect if totaldownload should be used is checking
both config->totaldownload and list_total, like it was already done in
several places in the cb_dl_progress function.

* Change the return values to be more informative.
It was previously boolean, only indicating if a sync package was newer than
a local package.
Now it is a simple wrapper to vercmp, handling the force flag.
* Remove the verbose output from _alpm_pkg_compare_versions.
The "force" message is not so useful.
The "package : local (v1) is newer than repo (v2)" message can be moved to
-Su operation.
For the -S operation, it is better to have something like :
"downgrading package from v1 to v2"
* Don't display the "up to date -- skipping" and "up to date -- reinstalling"
messages, when the local version is newer than the sync one.
* Fix the behavior of --needed option to not skip a target when the local
version is newer, and clarify its description.
