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.

The configuration key Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories controls if
apt allows loading of unsigned repositories at all.
The configuration Acquire::AllowDowngradeToInsecureRepositories
controls if a signed repository can ever become unsigned. This
should really never be needed but we provide it to avoid having
to mess around in /var/lib/apt/lists if there is a use-case for
this (which I can't think of right now).

This change prevents changing the protocol from https to http.
|
|
switch protocols at random is a bad idea if e.g. http can switch to
file, so we limit the possibilities to http to http and http to https.
As very few people (less than 1% according to popcon) have https
installed this likely changes nothing in terms of failure. The commit is
adding a friendly hint which package needs to be installed though.
