Add alpm_sandbox_child() function that will be used for switching to a
less priviledged user to run child processes.

The DownloadUser option will be used to drop privledges to the
specified user when downloading files.
The intention is for this to be extended in the future to a more
general sandbox configuration to cover operating on package and
database files prior to verification.
Add this option to pacman configuration and the various accessors into
the libalpm backend.

Cache servers differ from regular servers in that they do not produce
warnings and are not removed from the server pool for "soft errors"
(i.e. the server was reachable, but the download failed) and they are
not used for databases. If a host is used for both a cache server and a
regular server, it may still be removed from the server pool for soft
errors that occur when used as cache server and removal from the server
pool for soft errors will not affect future attempted use as a cache
server.

When ever pacman prints a conflict, it now prints pkgname-version,
instead of just pkgname.
alpm_conflict_t now carries *alpm_pkg_ts instead of just the
names of each package.
Fixes FS#12536 (point 2)
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.

Every alpm_option_set function clones the input so lets be more
consistent. Also this fixes servers not being sanatized.

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.

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.

Also change the group's title to point to the group's man page.
This makes generated man pages be named libalpm_* which is more
consistent with what library man pages are usually called.
