How the Multi-Arch field and pkg:<arch> dependencies interact was
discussed at DebConf15 in the "MultiArch BoF". dpkg and apt (among other
tools like dose) had a different interpretation in certain scenarios
which we resolved by agreeing on dpkg view – and this commit realizes
this agreement in code.
As was the case so far libapt sticks to the idea of trying to hide
MultiArch as much as possible from individual frontends and instead
translates it to good old SingleArch. There are certainly situations
which can be improved in frontends if they know that MultiArch is upon
them, but these are improvements – not necessary changes needed
to unbreak a frontend.
The implementation idea is simple: If we parse a dependency on foo:amd64
the dependency is formed on a package 'foo:amd64' of arch 'any'. This
package is provided by package 'foo' of arch 'amd64', but not by 'foo'
of arch 'i386'. Both of those foo packages provide each other through
(assuming foo is M-A:foreign) to allow a dependency on 'foo' to be
satisfied by either foo of amd64 or i386. Packages can also declare to
provide 'foo:amd64' which is translated to providing 'foo:amd64:any' as
well.
This indirection over provides was chosen as the alternative would be to
teach dependency resolvers how to deal with architecture specific
dependencies – which violates the design idea of avoiding resolver
changes, especially as architecture-specific dependencies are a
cornercase with quite a few subtil rules. Handling it all over versioned
provides as we already did for M-A in general seems much simpler as it
just works for them.
This switch to :any has actually a "surprising" benefit as well: Even
frontends showing a package name via .Name() [which doesn't show the
architecture] will display the "architecture" for dependencies in which
it was explicitely requested, while we will not show the 'strange' :any
arch in FullName(true) [= pretty-print] either. Before you had to
specialcase these and by default you wouldn't get these details shown.
The only identifiable disadvantage is that this complicates error
reporting and handling. apt-get's ShowBroken has existing problems with
virtual packages [it just shows the name without any reason], so that
has to be worked on eventually. The other case is that detecting if a
package is completely unknown or if it was at least referenced somewhere
needs to acount for this "split" – not that it makes a practical
difference which error is shown… but its one of the improvements
possible.

Housekeeping. This used to be embedded in apt-get directly, then moved
to into our (then new) private lib and now header and code get a proper
separation.

apt-get is displaying various lists of package names, which until now it
was building as a string before passing it to ShowList, which inserted
linebreaks at fitting points and showed a title if needed, but it never
really understood what it was working with. With the help of C++11 the
new generic knows not only what it works with, but generates the list on
the fly rather than asking for it and potentially discarding parts of
the input (= the non-default verbose display). It also doubles as a test
for how usable the CacheSets are with C++11.
(Not all callers are adapted yet.)

C++11 adds the 'override' specifier to mark that a method is overriding
a base class method and error out if not. We hide it in the APT_OVERRIDE
macro to ensure that we keep compiling in pre-c++11 standards.

Various small leaks here and there. Nothing particularily big, but still
good to fix. Found by the sanitizers while running our testcases.

No reason in and of by itself at the moment, but prepares for the goal
of having 'apt search' and 'apt-cache search' using the same code now
that they at least support the same stuff. The 'apt' code is just a
multitude slower at the moment…

Beside being a bit cleaner it hopefully also resolves oddball problems
I have with high levels of parallel jobs.
