This adds a mechanism for package builders to add arbitrary data to
packages that is not necessarily relevant enough to the package
installation process to gain first-class support in alpm. Currently
these fields have to be added to parsers with a "not actually used"
comment and can't be retrieved through the API.
Extended data is stored in "name=value" format in the xdata field
(%XDATA% in desc files):
xdata = pkgtype=debug
or
%XDATA%
pkgtype=debug

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()`.
When constructing an import question we never really used a proper gpg
key. We just zero initialize the key, set the uid and fingerprint, and
sent that to the front end.
Instead lets just give the import question a uid and fingerprint field.

This partially fixes FS#67850
It fixes the case for -S'ing packages but not -U'ing urls.
pacman -S a/a b/b
resolving dependencies...
error: packages a and b have the same filename: a-1-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
error: failed to prepare transaction (duplicate filename)

When a download fails on one mirror a new download is started on the
next mirror. This causes the ammount downloaded to reset, confusing the
rate math and making it display a negative rate.
This is further complicated by the fact that a download may be resumed
from where it is or started over.
To account for this we alert the frontend that the download was
restarted. Pacman then starts the progress bar over.

Restore the prior indicator whether or not databases were up to date.
0 is used to indicate if *any* db was actually updated as callers are
more likely to care about that than if *all* dbs were updated.

Our callbacks require front-ends to maintain state in order to provide
reasonable output. The new download callback in particular requires
much more complex state information to be saved. Without the ability to
provide context, state must be saved globally, which may not be possible
for all front-ends. Scripting language bindings in particular have no
way to register per-handle callbacks without some form of context.
Implements: FS#12721

This allows architecture to be multivalued. On x86-64 machines, this
could be something like:
Architecture = x86-64-v3 x86-64
We use the first specified Architecture value in mirrorlist $arch
variable replacement, as this is backwards-compatible and sane.

Total download callback called right before packages start downloaded.
But we already have an event for such event (ALPM_EVENT_PKG_RETRIEVE_START)
and it is naturally to use the event to pass information about expected
download size.

This makes generated man pages be named libalpm_* which is more

The comment makes it seem that the result itself is an error code. But

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:
debug: found cached pkg: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/glib-networking-2.64.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
debug: found detached signature /var/cache/pacman/pkg/glib-networking-2.64.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig with size 310
debug: found signature key: A5E9288C4FA415FA

Installing remote packages using its URL is an interesting case for ALPM
API. Unlike package sync ('pacman -S pkg1 pkg2') '-U' does not deal with
server mirror list. Thus _alpm_multi_download() should be able to
handle file download for payloads that either have 'fileurl' field
or pair of fields ('servers' and 'filepath') set.
Signature for alpm_fetch_pkgurl() has changed and it accepts an
output list that is populated with filepaths to fetched packages.
