It wasn't even implemented correctly, and it really doesn't have a use if
packagers just do their job correctly anyway for a distro. Let's not try to
solve a problem with the wrong solution now.

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.

Don't open a stream to the logfile until necessary. This will allow us
to catch any errors in opening the logfile instead of ignorning them.

Instead of declaring the extern variable in every *.c file, include it in
the header file that makes sense. This means handle.h for the handle, and
conf.h for the pacman side config object.

These macros take the place of the common 4 or 5 line blocks of code we had
in most places that called malloc or calloc. This should reduce some code
duplication and make memory allocation more standard in libalpm.
Highlights:
* Note that the MALLOC macro actually uses calloc, this is just for safety
so that memory is initialized to 0. This can be easily changed in one
place.
* One malloc call was completely eliminated- it made more sense to do it
on the stack.
* The use of RET_ERR in public functions (mainly the alpm_*_new functions)
was standardized, this makes sense so pm_errno is set.

When calling a function of the alpm_option_get_* group, you get a segfault
if you don't call alpm_initialize() first. With this patch those functions
set pm_errno to PM_ERR_HANDLE_NULL and return an error value if handle ==
NULL.

This allows us to remove the hack in the frontend where we added a newline
to everything coming out of the pm_printf functions, and instead let the
developer put newlines where they want them. This should be the last hangover
of that auto-newline stuff.

A bunch of changes related to my first "real" install of pacman-git into
/usr/local and trying to use it.
* Shift some uses of free -> FREE in libalpm.
* Move stat and sanity checks of config paths into libalpm from the
config and argument parsing in pacman.c.
* Fix issue where dbpath still was not defined early enough due to its
requirement for being used in alpm_db_register. This should be rewritten
so it doesn't have this dependency, but this will work for now.

I previously introduced some patches to make just about every path in
pacman/libalpm configurable; doing this with the lockfile seemed a bit too
far and we really should just place the lockfile where it belongs- with the
DB that needs locking.

This should hopefully allow multiple cache dirs to be specified in
pacman.conf and/or on the command line, and allow pacman to test
each one for the package file. The first one found to be writeable is
used as the download cache.

Remove the logmask functionality from the backend as it has been moved to
the frontend, and change the logging callback function to use pm_printf.
In addition, make much better use of va_list- use the args list instead
of a arbitrarily chosen string to print to in the logging functions.

Add some 'const' keywords all over the code to make it a bit more strict on
what you can and can't do with data. This is especially important when we
return pointers to the pacman frontend- ideally this would always be
untouchable data.

This change allows us to use all autoconf specified paths, most notably
$(localstatedir). It is quite a change and touches a lot of files, as
all references to the DB and cache were done with the ROOTDIR as a prefix.
* add --lock command-line option to pacman to specify the location of the
lockfile (this can now be specified at configure time by setting the
$localstatedir path).
* Rip quite a few settings out of configure.ac as they are now picked by
setting the paths during configure or make.
* Fix bug with /tmp fallback for sync downloads not working correctly
(related to root location, now the system tmp dir is used).
* Simplified the parameters to some libalpm functions, and added get/set
for the new lockfile option.
* Renamed several of the DEFS to names without the PM_ prefix.

* Use db->path when appropriate
* Commented out the FAKEROOT checks in libalpm. This should never ever be done.
TODO test this quite a bit, as this will never cause the transactions to fail
if RW operations are requested... right now it is totally up to the front end
to decide when to fail
* Use realpath() to canonicalize the root path when specified, so
_alpm_makepath() doesn't freak out
* Fixed some output/indent of MDFile and SHAFile algorithms
* More efficient sprintf() usage in MDFile/SHAFile
* Added real error output to _alpm_makepath
occasions where some alpm stuff could be used without initializing the
library (vercmp is one). TODO make these functions (handle accessors)
better by returning "library not initialized" instead of failing.
* Removed NoUpgrade lines from pacman.conf - we need to test this!
* Re-corrected the lib targets for src/util/*
* make dist seems to have updated the po files
properly
* Error when re-reading the DB for replacements, wrong info level
* Removed an duplicate debug message "checking for package replacements"
* Check ignorepkg for REAL upgrades...
* Properly check the NOSAVE flag
* some unlink_file (remove.c) cleanup
* fix indent level on handle.c
* Force libalpm paths to end with a '/' char
* Fixed 'target' looping in conflict.c (pmsyncpkg_t, not pmpkg_t)
* Added some debug output to cache and db scanning
** All pactest tests succeed again, yay **
* The --debug params were goofy. New setup allows --debug without params,
--debug=<level> where level 1=debug output, 2=debug and download output,
3=debug, download, and function tracing output. This seems more sane to me.
* Removed PM_LOG_FLOW1 and PM_LOG_FLOW2. They were just confusing. When adding
new functions, it is near impossible to determin if your output should be
"flow1" or "flow2" without tracking all the way up the call chain. Rarely
would one ever say "ok, lets just show "flow2" output. These have both been
replaced with PM_LOG_DEBUG
* Removed the need for the root parameter on alpm_initialize. it is now
defaulted to PM_ROOT just like dbpath and cachedir. This allows alpm to be
initialized BEFORE option parsing in the front end, saving us some duplicate
variables in the frontend.
* Cleaned up front end variables due to early alpm_initialize call.

* some const correctness changes
* removal of PM_* types in alpm.h in favor of the pm*_t types used throughout
libalpm
* Furthered the "lazy caching" to force the pkgcache to read nothing
(INFRQ_NONE) by default. Anything requiring package data should now check
the infolevel of each package and attempt to update it. This could be
ironed out a bit more later (by using the front-end get_info function
