This doesn't allow all tests to run cleanly, but it at least allows to
write tests which could run successfully in such environments.

The md5sum hash is broken since some time and we should no longer
consider it a usable hash. Also update the tests to reflect this.

It shouldn't be too common, but sometimes people have multiple mirrors
in the sources or otherwise repositories with the same content. Now that
we gracefully can handle multiple requests to the same URI, we can also
fold multiple requests with the same expected hashes into one. Note that
this isn't trying to find oppertunities for merging, but just merges if
it happens to encounter the oppertunity for it.
This is most obvious in the new testcase actually as it needs to delay
the action to give the acquire system enough time to figure out that
they can be merged.

Provided is a specialized acquire item which given a version can figure
out the correct URI to try by itself and if not provides an error
message alongside with static methods to get just the URI it would try
to download if it should just be displayed or similar such.
The URI is constructed as follows:
Release files can provide an URI template in the "Changelogs" field,
otherwise we lookup a configuration item based on the "Label" or
"Origin" of the Release file to get a (hopefully known) default value
for now. This template should contain the string CHANGEPATH which is
replaced with the information about the version we want the changelog
for (e.g. main/a/apt/apt_1.1). This middleway was choosen as this path
part was consistent over the three known implementations (+1 defunct),
while the rest of the URI varies widely between them.
The benefit of this construct is that it is now easy to get changelogs
for Debian packages on Ubuntu and vice versa – even at the moment where
the Changelogs field is present nowhere. Strictly better than what
apt-get had before as it would even fail to get changelogs from
security… Now it will notice that security identifies as Origin: Debian
and pick this setting (assuming again that no Changelogs field exists).
If on the other hand security would ship its changelogs in a different
location we could set it via the Label option overruling Origin.

We use test{success,failure} now all over the place in the framework, so
its only consequencial to do this in the situations in which we test for
a specific output as well.

It is not very extensible to have the supported Hashes hardcoded
everywhere and especially if it is part of virtual method names.
It is also possible that a method does not support the 'best' hash
(yet), so we might end up not being able to verify a file even though we
have a common subset of supported hashes. And those are just two of the
cases in which it is handy to have a more dynamic selection.
The downside is that this is a MAJOR API break, but the HashStringList
has a string constructor for compatibility, so with a bit of luck the
few frontends playing with the acquire system directly are okay.

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.

While the InstallPackages code was moved from apt-get into the private
library the output was moved from (std::)cout to c1out which isn't shown
in quiet level 2 (and above), so we flip back to std::cout to ensure
that it is always printed as you are not going to use --print-uris if
you don't want to see the uris…
