This is an unlikely event for indexes and co, but it can happen quiet
easily e.g. for changelogs where you want to get the changelogs for
multiple binary package(version)s which happen to all be built from a
single source.
The interesting part is that the Acquire system actually detected this
already and set the item requesting the URI again to StatDone - expect
that this is hardly sufficient: an Item must be Complete=true as well
to be considered truely done and that is only the tip of the ::Done
handling iceberg. So instead of this StatDone hack we allow QItems to be
owned by multiple items and notify all owners about everything now,
so that for the point of each item they got it downloaded just for them.

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.

Adds some infrastructure to run tests automatically for certain
commands. The first command being 'apt-get update' (and 'apt update')
which check for correct permission and owner of the files in lists/.

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

Using a different user for calling methods is intended to protect us
from methods running amok (via remotely exploited bugs) by limiting what
can be done by them. By using root:root for the final directories and
just have the files in partial writeable by the methods we enhance this
in sofar as a method can't modify already verified data in its parent
directory anymore.
As a side effect, this also clears most of the problems you could have
if the final directories are shared without user-sharing or if these
directories disappear as they are now again root owned and only the
partial directories contain _apt owned files (usually none if apt isn't
running) and the directory itself is autocreated with the right
permissions.

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. -

Use a APT::VersionSet instead of a APT::VersionList in DoDownload()
to ensure that there is only one version in the set even if the
user passes multiple identical name/versions on the commandline

Also adds a friendly note about how many tests were run/passed so that
the end of the testrun isn't all that negative by just showing fails.
(It now tells us that we have 111 tests at the moment!)

With a bit of trickery we can reuse the usual infrastructure we have in
place to acquire deb files for the 'download' operation as well, which
gains us authentification check & display, error messages, correct
filenames and "downloads" from the root-owned archives.

- print a friendly message in 'download' if a package can't be
downloaded (Closes: #677887)
