partial files are chowned by the Item baseclass to let the methods work
with them. Now, this baseclass is also responsible for chowning the
files back to root instead of having various deeper levels do this.
The consequence is that all overloaded Failed() methods now call the
Item::Failed base as their first step. The same is done for Done().
The effect is that even in partial files usually don't belong to
_apt anymore, helping sneakernets and reducing possibilities of a bad
method modifying files not belonging to them.
The change is supported by the framework not only supporting being run
as root, but with proper permission management, too, so that privilege
dropping can be tested with them.

Running the testcases is usually not a good idea, but it can be handy to
check if the privilege dropping works.

apt-get download and changelog as well as apt-helper reuse the acquire
system for their own proposes without requiring the directories the
fetcher wants to create, which is a problem if you run them as non-root
and the directories do not exist as it greets you with:
E: Archives directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing. -
Acquire (13: Permission denied)

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.
