Broken in e7e10e47476606e3b2274cf66b1e8ea74b236757 by looking always
into "apt" while we ship some tools in "apt-utils"…

Passing function pointers around while working on this was very icky,
but if weak symbols are too much to ask for…
Reverts "do not use "-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions" during the build to avoid
breakage" aka a5fc9be36211a290a7abc3ca2a8bf98943bc1f57.

Based on a discussion with Niels Thykier who asked for Contents-all this
implements apt trying for all architecture dependent files to get a file
for the architecture all, which is treated internally now as an official
architecture which is always around (like native). This way arch:all
data can be shared instead of duplicated for each architecture requiring
the user to download the same information again and again.
There is one problem however: In Debian there is already a binary-all/
Packages file, but the binary-any files still include arch:all packages,
so that downloading this file now would be a waste of time, bandwidth
and diskspace. We therefore need a way to decide if it makes sense to
download the all file for Packages in Debian or not. The obvious answer
would be a special flag in the Release file indicating this, which would
need to default to 'no' and every reasonable repository would override
it to 'yes' in a few years time, but the flag would be there "forever".
Looking closer at a Release file we see the field "Architectures", which
doesn't include 'all' at the moment. With the idea outlined above that
'all' is a "proper" architecture now, we interpret this field as being
authoritative in declaring which architectures are supported by this
repository. If it says 'all', apt will try to get all, if not it will be
skipped. This gives us another interesting feature: If I configure a
source to download armel and mips, but it declares it supports only
armel apt will now print a notice saying as much. Previously this was a
very cryptic failure. If on the other hand the repository supports mips,
too, but for some reason doesn't ship mips packages at the moment, this
'missing' file is silently ignored (= that is the same as the repository
including an empty file).
The Architectures field isn't mandatory through, so if it isn't there,
we assume that every architecture is supported by this repository, which
skips the arch:all if not listed in the release file.

The general idea is: A small paragraph on the tool itself as a
description, a list of the most used (!= all) commands available in the
tool, a remark where to find more information on the tool and its
commands (aka: in the manpage) and finally a common block referring to
even more manpages. In exchange options are completely omitted from the
output as well as deprecated or obscure commands. (Better) Information
about them is available in the manpages anyway and the few options which
were listed before were also the least interesting ones (-o -c -q and co
are hardly of interest for someone totally new looking to find info by
asking for help and anyone with a bit of experience doesn't need this
short list. Those would need a list of options applying to the command
they call, but they are too numerous and command specific to list them
sanely in this context.

Its not as simple as I initially thought to abstract this enough to make
it globally usable, so lets not pollute global namespace with this for
now.

This ensures that location strings loaded from a location specified via
configuration (Dir::Locale) effect the help messages for commands.

All mains pretty much do the same thing, so lets try a little harder to
move the common parts into -private to have the real differences more
visible.

That is one huge commit with busy work only: Help messages used to be
one big translateable string, which is a pain for translators and hard
to reuse for us. This change there 'explodes' this single string into
new string for each documented string trying hard to split up the
translated messages as well. This actually restores many translations as
previously adding a single command made all of the bug message fuzzy.
The splitup also highlighted that its easy to forget a line, duplicate
one and similar stuff.

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

While it is mostly busywork to rewrite all instances it actually fixes
bugs as the data storage used by the new method is std::string rather
than a char*, the later mostly created by c_str() from a std::string
which the caller has to ensure keeps in scope – something apt-ftparchive
actually didn't ensure and relied on copy-on-write behavior instead
which c++11 forbids and hence the new default gcc abi doesn't use it.

As part of the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that
apt could not be built reproducibly.
One issue is that it uses the __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros of the C
preprocessor to display the time of build in the online help. We believe
this information not to be really useful to users as they can always
look at the package data and metadata to figure it out.
The attached patch simply removes this information. All
non-documentation packages can then be built reproducibly with our
current experimental framework.
[David: changed the string slightly to be untranslateable as well]
Closes: 774342

By convention, if I run a tool with --help or --version I expect it to
exit successfully with the usage, while if I do call it wrong (like
without any parameters) I expect the usage message shown with a non-zero
exit.

refactor a bit, extract code out of Generate() into
DoGenerate{PackagesAndSources,Contents}, add new
APT::FTPArchive::ContentsOnly option to allow skipping the generation
of Package/Source files (if they are generated e.g. by some db outside
of apt-ftparchives control)

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

done on the mirco-optimazation level, so lets fix them:

- Read default configuration (Closes: #383257)
|

- write LongDescriptions if they shouldn't be included in Packages
file into i18n/Translation-en by default.
It is ensured that each package+description is listed only ones in the
Translation file even if we generate multiple Packages file in one run.
The file is only generated in "generate" - the simple file commands
can't create it by now. Also, the LongDescription is currently a
global setting, so generating archives with and without LongDescriptions
in the Packages file in the same run are currently not possible.

- if an arch is given accept only *_all.deb and *_arch.deb instead
of *.deb. Thanks Stephan Bosch for the patch! (Closes: #319710)
