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

--root is not sufficient to properly operate on a mounted guest system.
Using --root still uses the host system's configuration and there is no
way to correctly use the guest configuration without manually modifying
any Include directives. --sysroot provides an easier way to operate on
a guest system by chrooting immediately after option parsing before
configuration parsing or performing any operations. It is currently
limited to the root user, but that's enough for restoring a guest system
to a working state, which is the primary intended use case.

Pacman currently bails when trying to extract a file over a directory
when using --force. Instead of ignoring all conflict, perform the
check and skip any file-file conflicts. Conflicts between directories
and files are still flagged and cause the transation to abort.
As a bonus, we now know about files changing packages when using
--force, so we can skip removing them fixing upgrade046.

Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
This reverts commit f3fa77bcf1 along with
making other necessary changes to fully back this (mis)feature out until
we can do it correctly.
The quick summary here is this was not implemented correctly; provides
are not fully taken into account in this logic, and making that happen
exposes a lot of other flaws in this code that are covered up later on
in the dependency resolving process by several other pieces of
convoluted and conditional logic.
Tests have been adjusted accordingly. Some test EXISTS conditions have
been removed as we already know the package is installed locally, and we
also are checking the VERSION condition anyway.
With these two related revert commits, we do have some changes in test
pass/fail results:
* upgrade078.py: does not pass, this is due to --recursive getting
removed for -U/-S operations after this commit.
* sync302.py: the version checks have been disabled, so this test
continues to pass but has been scaled back in scope.
* sync303.py: now passes, was failing before.
* sync304.py: still failing, was failing before.
* sync305.py: now passes, was failing before.
* sync306.py: still passes, was passing before.

This removes the hack I added to skip '*.sig' files earlier since there
are other files that also fall into the same bucket- source packages
from `makepkg --source`, delta files, etc. Rather than prompting for
each and every one, simply skip them. Doing '-Scc' rather than '-Sc'
will delete these files if that is really what you want to do.

We had this interesting set of facts conundrum, according to vercmp
return values:
2.0a < 2.0
2.0 < 2.0.a
2.0a == 2.0.a
This introduces a code change that ensures '2.0a < 2.0.a' as would be
expected by the first two comparisons. Unfortunately this stays us a bit
further from upstream RPM code, but those are the breaks (in RPM, the
versions involving 'a' do in fact compare the same, but they are both
greater than the bare '2.0').

This closely matches what we had before for -R --recursive. Basically,
when specifying a target (e.g., pacman), we can now recursively pull all
dependencies, regardless of version specifiers and whether they are
already satisfied in the local database. This could be used to update
pacman on a system with an old glibc, for example, as both pacman and
glibc would get pulled into the transaction.
This is most useful with --needed to prevent needless reinstalls as
described in the man page changes.
The end goal of this change is to wire it into SyncFirst and have it be
the default mode of operation there, but that belongs in a separate
changeset.
