Privilege dropping breaks download/source/changelog commands as they
require the _apt user to have write permissions in the current directory,
which is e.g. the case in /tmp, but not in /root, so we disable the
privilege dropping if we deal with such a directory based on idea and
code by Michael Vogt.
The alternative would be to download always to a temp directory and move
it then done, but this breaks partial file support. To resolve this, we
could move to one of our partial/ directories, but this would require a
lock which would block root from using two of these commands in
parallel. As both seems unacceptable we instead let the user choose what
to do: Either a directory is setupped for _apt, downloading as root is
accepted or – which is potentially even better – an unprivileged user is
used for the commands.

This will show the same unauthenticated warning for source packages
as for binary packages and will not download a source package if
it is unauthenticated. This can be overridden with
--allow-unauthenticated

While it is a huge undertaking to enable it for our public libraries as
basically everything we exported so far could be seen as public
interface our private library is new and under our full control, so we
can do whatever we like with it. The benefits are not that big in return
of course, but it reduces the size a bit, so thats great nontheless.

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

refactor the fetching process so that it looks more like the
others we have in the hope that we can reuse code in the future.
This is a soft interface change as 'source' previously printed
errors directly on stderr, while it will now push it onto our usual
error stack.
