* [BREAK] add possibility to download and use multiply

  Translation files, configurable with Acquire::Translation
  (Closes: #444222, #448216, #550564)
* Ignore :qualifiers after package name in build dependencies
  for now as long we don't understand them (Closes: #558103)
* apt-pkg/contrib/mmap.{cc,h}:
  - extend it to have a growable flag - unused now but maybe...
* apt-pkg/pkgcache.h:
  - use long instead of short for {Ver,Desc}File size,
    patch from Víctor Manuel Jáquez Leal, thanks! (Closes: #538917)
* apt-pkg/acquire-item.cc:
  - allow also to skip the last patch if target is reached,
    thanks Bernhard R. Link! (Closes: #545699)
* ftparchive/writer.{cc,h}:
  - add APT::FTPArchive::AlwaysStat to disable the too aggressive
    caching if versions are build multiply times (not recommend)
    Patch by Christoph Goehre, thanks! (Closes: #463260)

+     and in which order APT tries to display the Description-Translations. APT will try to display the first
+     available Description in the Language which is listed at first. Languages can be defined with their
+     short or long Languagecodes. Note that not all archives provide <filename>Translation</filename>
+     files for every Language - especially the long Languagecodes are rare, so please
+     inform you which ones are available before you set here impossible values.</para>
+     <para>The default list includes "environment" and "en". "<literal>environment</literal>" has a special meaning here:
+     It will be replaced at runtime with the languagecodes extracted from the <literal>LC_MESSAGES</literal> environment variable.
+     It will also ensure that these codes are not included twice in the list. If <literal>LC_MESSAGES</literal>
+     is set to "C" only the <filename>Translation-en</filename> file (if available) will be used.
+     To force apt to use no Translation file use the setting <literal>Acquire::Languages=none</literal>. "<literal>none</literal>"
+     is another special meaning code which will stop the search for a fitting <filename>Translation</filename> file.
+     This can be used by the system administrator to let APT know that it should download also this files without
+     actually use them if the environment doesn't specify this languages. So the following example configuration will
+     result in the order "en, de" in an english and in "de, en" in a german localization. Note that "fr" is downloaded,
+     but not used if APT is not used in a french localization, in such an environment the order would be "fr, de, en".
