If we have files in partial/ from a previous invocation or similar such
those could be symlinks created by file:// sources. The code is
expecting only real files through and happily changes owner,
modification times and permission on the file the symlink points to
which tend to be files we have no business in touching in this way.
Permissions of symlinks shouldn't be changed, changing owner is usually
pointless to, but just to be sure we pick the easy way out and use
lchown, check for symlinks before chmod/utimes.

In 8b79c94af7f7cf2e5e5342294bc6e5a908cacabf changing to usage of C++ way
of setting the locale causes us to be terminated in case of usage of an
ungenerated locale as LC_ALL (or similar) – but we don't want to fail
here, we just want to carry on as before with setlocale which we call in
that case just for good measure.

We use a wild mixture of C and C++ ways of generating output, so having
a consistent world-view in both styles sounds like a good idea and
should help in preventing regressions.

This can be used by workers to send warnings to the main
program. The messages will be passed to _error->Warning()
by APT with the URI prepended.
We are not going to make that really public now, as the
interface might change a bit.

Allows users who know what they are getting themselves into with this
trick to e.g. disable privilege dropping for e.g. file:// until they can
fix up the permissions on those repositories. It helps also the test
framework and people with a similar setup (= me) to run in less modified
environments.

Continueing on the track of dropping privileges in all methods, lets
drop it in copy, too, as the reasoning for it is very similar to file
and the interaction between the too quiet interesting as copy kinda
surfed as a fallback for file not being able to read the file. Both now
show a better error message as well as it was previously claiming to
have a hashsum mismatch, given that it couldn't read the file.
