Currently pacman relies on the SKS keyserver network to fetch unknown
PGP keys. These keyservers are vulnerable to signature spamming attacks,
potentionally making it impossible to import the required keys. An
alternative to keyservers is a so-called Web Key Directory (WKD), a
well-known, trusted location on a server from where the keys can be
fetched.
This commit adds the ability to retrieve keys from a WKD. Due to the
mentioned vulnerabilities, the WKD is tried first, falling back to the
keyservers only if no appropriate key is found there.
In contrast to keyservers, keys in a WKD are not looked up using their
fingerprint, but by email address. Since the email address of the
signing key is usually not included in the signature, we will use the
packager email address to perform the lookup.
Also see FS#63171.

Ask the user whether they want to import a missing key before even doing
a search on the keyserver. This will be useful for getting Web Key
Directory support in place: for a WKD, looking up and importing a key
are a single action, so the current key_search -> QUESTION -> key_import
workflow does not apply.
Since only the ID of the package signing key is available before
key_search, we display the packager variable in addition to the key ID
for user convenience.

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

RFC 4880 defines two packet formats for OpenPGP. Pacman aborted its key
in keyring check with an error message if it encountered the new format.
This was fine until some annoying Arch Trusted User generated a key
using the new format!
Implement the new format. This also required parsing the hashed sub
packets. requiring the parsing code to moved to its own function.

This is a rewrite of Tobias Stoeckmann’s patch from June 2016[1] using
functions instead of macros. (Thanks to Tobias for explanations of his patch.)
A short question on Freenode IRC showed that macros are generally discouraged
and functions should be used.
The patch introduces a static size_t length_check() in libalpm/signing.c.

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) { ... }'.

Much like with events, instead of using a bunch of void* arguments for
all questions, we now send one pointer to an alpm_question_t union.
This contains the type of question that was triggered.
With this information, a question-specific struct can be accessed in
order to get additional arguments.

The alpm_decode_signature function was made available for frontends to

gpgme support. As that function did not require anything from gpgme,
have it build unconditionally.

The symbol 'err' refers to err() from err.h, and is wisest to be avoided
as a variable name.

The warning given for a signature timstamp being in the future compared
to the system time stated the opposite.
Also, move this warning to debug output. It is useless in its current
form as the package or database that is giving the error is not
mentioned and so other debug output is needed to find the offending
signature.

PGP keyservers are pieces of sh** when it comes to searching for
subkeys, and only allow it if you submit an 8-character fingerprint
rather than the recommended and less chance of collision 16-character
fingerprint.
Add a second remote lookup for the 8-character version of a key ID if we
don't find anything the first time we look up the key. This fixes
FS#27612 and the deficiency has been sent upstream to the GnuPG users
mailing list as well.

Ensures that config.h is always ordered correctly (first) in the
includes. Also means that new source files get this for free without
having to remember to add it.
We opt for -imacros over -include as its more portable, and the
added constraint by -imacros doesn't bother us for config.h.
This also touches the HACKING file to remove the explicit mention of
config.h as part of the includes.
