db and pkg store a pointer to the handle for internal use but don't
actually provide a way for a user to get it.
Making this accessible is more convenient for front ends and FFI
wrappers.
For example, in other languages it's common to return the error value
directly. To achieve this the python and rust wrappers also store their
own pointer to the handle inside their own pkg/db wrappers.
Exposing this would allow the wrappers to forgo the extra pointer and
just return `pkg.get_handle().last_error()`.
This commit adds an iterator interface for reading files from the
syncdbs. Instead of using alpm_pkg_get_files(), you now get the files
from the database using alpm_db_files_open(), you then use
alpm_db_files_next() to iterate through the files for each package. If
you want to actually load the files from that package you then use
alpm_db_files_load().
This means alpm_pkg_get_files() will always return empty for syncdbs,
even on .files databases, however these functions still work on the
localdb and loaded packages.
This aproach is faster when dumping the entire file list but slower when
searching for a specific package.

Add support for adding a note to packages. This is intended to be set to
the user to document the reason or motive a package was installed.
Notes can be set for a transaction and only the targets of that
transaction gain the note.
Notes can also be edited for installed packages similarly to how install
reason can be set.
change pacman-dev@archlinux.org to pacmandev@lists.archlinux.org
Most of this is copyright notices but this also fixes FS#72129 by
updating the address in docs/index.asciidoc.

I could also update the email in the .po files as it's a simple find and

With current master version the 'keyring checking' step produces an error:
debug: returning error 6 from alpm_pkg_get_sig (../lib/libalpm/package.c: 274) : wrong or NULL argument passed
The package signature is still checked later at the integrity verification step though.
This commit fixes keyring checking and now the debug log looks like this:
debug: found cached pkg: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ruby-2.7.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Pacman has a 'key in keyring' verification step that makes sure the signatures
have a valid keyid. Currently pacman parses embedded package signatures only.
Add a fallback to detached signatures. If embedded signature is missing then it
tries to read corresponding *.sig file and get keyid from there.
Verification:

Many of these are pointless (e.g. there is no need to explicitly turn on
spellchecking and language dictionaries for the manpages by default).
The only useful modelines are the ones enforcing the project coding
standards for indentation style (and "maybe" filetype/syntax, but
everything except the asciidoc manpages and makepkg.conf is already
autodetected), and indent style can be applied more easily with
.editorconfig

Many bitfield variables are declared to be enums, because they are
generated using bitwise operations on enums such. However, their
actual values aren't necessary members of their parent enum, so
declaring them 'int' is more accurate.

This allows functions which return an _alpm_errno_t to always return a
genuine _alpm_errno_t for consistency, even in cases where there are
no errors. Since ALPM_ERR_OK = 0, their callers can still simply check
'err = some_fn(); if (!err) { ... }'.

Relying on localdb to determine which trigger operations should match is
completely broken for PostTransaction hooks because the localdb has
already been updated. Store a copy of the old version of any packages
being updated to use instead.

We have a few of these and might as well gather them together. This also
cleans up the code a bit by using an enum instead of integer values, as
well as makes a "search for file in filelist" function public so
frontends can do better than straight linear search of the filelists.
