this flag prevents backup files from being kept on package installation.
This is useful for resetting a package's config files back to their
original state.
Implements FS#59908 although with it's own flag name instead of reusing
nosave. This allows nokeep to optionally create a pacnew that you can
then choose to disable by also setting nosave.

I actually very dislike NOKEEP but it was the best I could come up with
I would have prefered overwrite or nosave but they are taken. Better
names are welcome.
--dbonly is meant to only touch the database and not the actual system.
However hooks still run which can leave files in place or run commands
you may not want.
The hooks being run also means `fakeroot pacman -S --dbpath test/ foo --dbonly`
fails because alpm tries to chroot for hooks which requires real root.

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.

Pacman now downloads the signature files for all packages when present in a
repository. That makes distributing signatures within repository databases
redundant and costly.
Do not distribute the package signature files within the repo databases by
default and add an --include-sigs to revert to the old behaviour.

Every time we modify gpg's state by signing or revoking a key, gpg
marks the trustdb as stale and rechecks it the next time key_is_lsigned()
or key_is_revoked() is called.
Currently, we alternate calls signing of keys and calling key_is_lsigned()
(idem for revoking) which means that for each key we sign (or revoke), gpg
will check the trustdb once.
To avoid checking the trustb so many times, we can simply do all the
key_is_lsigned() and key_is_revoked() checks upfront. Inbetween read
operations the trustdb is not marked stale and inbetween write operations
the trustdb is also not marked stale. This reduces the amount of trustdb
checks from 50 to 1.

Currently, when running pacman-key --populate, gpg prints the
trustdb check output once for each locally signed and revoked key.
When bootstrapping a new container image, about 50 keys get signed
and revoked which leads to a huge amount of output when running
pacman-key which is repeated 50x.
To avoid overloading the user with gpg output, we add --quiet to the gpg
calls generating the trustdb checking output to silence those calls which
gets rid of the trustdb check output on the terminal.

All of these links are broken since the recent move to
gitlab.archlinux.org.
A few projects are, apparently, only available on GitHub, so I've linked
to that source (hopefully that's only temporary).
For git-clone URLs, I've opted for the https URLs since those can be
used by anyone -- whereas the ssh URLs require the user to be registered
on the gitlab instance which is not open to the public yet.

Test for downloads that redirect to some sort of cdn where the
redirected url does not relate to the original filename.
Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
Github and other sites redirect their downloads to a cdn. So the
download http://foo.org/myrepo.db may redirect to something like
https://cdn.foo.org/83749327439.
This then causes pacman to try and download the sig as
https://cdn.foo.org/83749327439.sig which is incorrect. In this case
pacman should append .sig to the original url.
However urls like https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/0ad/download/
Redirect to the mirror, so .sig has to appended after the redirects and
not before.
So we decide if we should append .sig on the original or effective url
based on if the effective url (minus the query part) has .db or .pkg in it.

v2: move variable decleration to start of block
v3: use dbext instead of db
archweb's download links all ended in /download. This cause all the temp
files to be named download.part. With parallel downloads this results in
multiple downloads to go to the same temp file and breaks the transaction.
Assign random temporary filenames to downloads from URLs that are either
missing a filename, or if the filename does not contain at least three
hyphens (as a well formed package filename does).
While this approach to determining when to use a temporary filename is
not 100% foolproof, it does keep nice looking download progress bar names
when a proper package filename is given. The only downside of not using
temporary files when provided with a filename with three or more hyphens
is URLs created specifically to bypass temporary filename usage can not
be downloaded in parallel. We probably do not want to download packages
from such URLs anyway.

Arch Linux has been setting PYTHONHASHSEED=0 to create deterministic
.pyc files. After a thorough review by the Arch Security Team, setting
this variable was determined not to generated vulnerable .pyc files, as
when the loader loads the .pyc file and unmarshalls it, the internal
runtime will just populate the unordered data structures and use a new
runtime hash for them.

pacman_date is set to the current date during build without respecting
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. As a result, a build cannot be fully reproduced on a later
date because the date embedded into the man pages does not match.
In contrast, the built-in asciidoc attribute "localdate" respects
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH and has the desired ISO 8601 format, so simply use that
instead of the custom "pacman_date" attribute.

readelf --debug-dump sometimes reports inscrutable warnings which don't
actually affect our extraction of source filenames. For example:
readelf: Warning: There is a hole [0xd3d - 0xd89] in .debug_loc section.
Now gcc 11 seems to have dramatically increased the number of warnings:
readelf: Warning: Corrupt offset (0x0000008e) in range entry 9
[...]
readelf: Warning: Corrupt offset (0x000010f0) in range entry 250
The resulting debuginfo created by the very same toolchain works fine,
as does the list of source filenames. But the warnings are quite
noisy... send them to /dev/null since they are not actionable in the
context of getting source files

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.
