When writing a Sources files hashes that were already present
in the .dsc were always copied through (or modified), even if
disabled. Remove them instead when they are disabled, otherwise
we end up with hashes for tarballs and stuff but not for dsc
files (as the dsc obviously does not hash itself).
Also adjust the tests: test-compressed-indexes relied on Files
being present in showsrc, and test-apt-update-weak-hashes expected
the tarball to be downloaded when an archive only has MD5 and we
are requiring SHA256 because that used to work because the tarball
was always included.

Weak had no dedicated option before and Insecure and Downgrade were both
global options, which given the effect they all have on security is
rather bad. Setting them for individual repositories only isn't great
but at least slightly better and also more consistent with other
settings for repositories.

Downloading and saying "Hash Sum mismatch" isn't very friendly from a
user POV, so with this change we try to detect such cases early on and
report it, preferably before download even started.

APT can be forced to deal with repositories which have no security
features whatsoever, so just giving up on repositories which "just" fail
our current criteria of good security features is the wrong incentive.
Of course, repositories are better of fixing their setup to provide the
minimum of security features, but sometimes this isn't possible:
Historic repositories for example which do not change (anymore).
That also fixes problem with repositories which are marked as trusted,
but are providing only weak security features which would fail the
parsing of the Release file.

This makes it easier to understand what really is an error
and what not.

If we can't work with the hashes we parsed from the Release file we
display now an error message if the Release file includes only weak
hashes instead of downloading the indexes and failing to verify them
with "Hash Sum mismatch" even through the hashes didn't mismatch (they
were just weak).
If for some (unlikely) reason we have got weak hashes only for
individual targets we will show a warning to this effect (again, befor
downloading and failing the index itself).
