trigger NODATA error for invalid InRelease files
With the selfgrown splitting we got the problem of not recovering from networks which just reply with invalid data like those sending us login pages to authenticate with the network (e.g. hotels) back. The good thing about the InRelease file is that we know that it must be clearsigned (a Release file might or might not have a detached sig) so if we get a file but are unable to split it something is seriously wrong, so there is not much point in trying further. The Acquire system already looks out for a NODATA error from gpgv, so this adds a new error message sent to the acquire system in case the splitting we do now ourselves failed including this magic word. Closes: #712486
