Normal cows moo every time they feel like it and it might be a "moo",
"moo!" or "moo?". This is completely unacceptable behaviour in our super
cow through as as a superior being it has to show its superiority over
the common cows and the meager easter eggs by being fully reproducible!
The second version of Chris' patch is modified to include an array of
tests for this feature – which doubles as explanation for some of the
moo lines by giving more exact dates – and falling back to current time
if the environment is invalid + passing time around instead of having an
invalid environment be an unrecoverable error (aka: Guru Meditation) as
that is more inline with how apt usually behaves: The wisdom of super cow
should be available to everyone, even to the most misfortune users not
capable of having a valid environment variable.
That makes the code slightly more ugly, so instead of requiring a young
follower to produce a third version a high priest of the cult applied the
finishing touches as he is used to the pain by now – and another round
with the slowpoke high priest would have been a serious threat to the
Debian release schedule which the cow would not approve.
Closes: #848721
Signed-off-by: Super Cow
Thanks: Chris Lamb for initial patch and guru meditation

After editing the sources it is a good idea to (re)built the caches as
they will be out-of-date and doing so helps in reporting higherlevel
errors like duplicates sources.list entries, too, instead of just
general parsing errors as before.

Most pagers are nice and default to running non-interactively if they
aren't connected to a terminal and we relied on that. On ci.debian.net
the configured pager is printing a header out of nowhere though, so if
we are printing to a non-terminal we call "cat" instead.
In the rework we also "remove" the dependency on sensible-utils in sofar
as we call some alternatives if calling the utils fail.
This seems to be the last problem preventing a "PASS" status on
ci.debian.net, so we close the associated bugreport.
Closes: 755040

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.
