Use /dev/fd in test-bug-712116-dpkg-pre-install-pkgs-hook-multiarch,
skip test-no-fds-leaked-to-maintainer-scripts (it is not guaranteed
that /dev/fd contains all file descriptors), and avoid the unneeded
use of /proc/fd in another test case.

Commit 7ec343309b7bc6001b465c870609b3c570026149 got us most of the way,
but the last mile was botched by having the pending calls in the wrong
order as this way we potentially 'force' dpkg to remove/purge a package
it doesn't want to as another package still depends on it and the
replacement isn't fully installed yet.
So what we do now is a configure before remove and purge (all with
--no-triggers) and finishing off with another configure pending call to
take care of the triggers.
Note that in the bugreport example our current planner is forcing dpkg
to remove the package earlier via --force-depends which we could do for
the pending calls as well and could be used as a workaround, but we want
to do less forcing eventually.

With b4450f1dd6bca537e60406b2383ab154a3e1485f we dropped what we
calculated here later on and now that we don't need it in the meantime
either we can just skip the busy work by default and expect dpkg to do
the right thing dropping also our little "last explicit configures"
removal trick introduced in b4450f1dd6bca537e60406b2383ab154a3e1485f.
This enables the last of a bunch of previously experimental options,
some of them existing still, but are very special and hence not really
worth documenting anymore (especially as it would need to be rewritten
now entirely) which is why the documentation is nearly completely
dropped.
The order of configuration stanzas in the simulation code changes
slightly as it isn't concerning itself with finding the 'right' order,
but any order is valid anyhow as long as the entire set happens in the
same call.

If we want a package to be purged from the system tell dpkg in the
ordering (if it has to touch it explicitly) to remove it and cover the
purging of the config files at the end with a --purge --pending call.
That should help packages move conffiles around between packages
correctly even if the user is purging packages directly in big actions
like dist-upgrades involving many packages.

We end our operation by calling "dpkg --configure -a", so instead of
running a (big) configure run with all packages mentioned explicitly
before this, we simply skip them and let them be handled by this call
implicitly.
There isn't really an observeable gain to be had here from a speed
point, but it helps in avoiding an (uncommon) problem of having a too
long commandline passed to dpkg, which we would split up (probably
incorrectly).

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

Commit 299aea924ccef428219ed6f1a026c122678429e6 fixes the problem of
not logging terminal in case stdin & stdout are not a terminal. The
problem is that we are then trying to pass-through stdin content by
reading from the apt-process stdin and writing it to the stdin of the
child (dpkg), which works great for users who can control themselves,
but pipes and co are a bit less forgiving causing us to pass everything
to the first child process, which if the sending part of the pipe is
e.g. 'yes' we will never see the end of it (as the pipe is full at some
point and further writing blocks).
There is a simple solution for that of course: If stdin isn't a terminal,
we us the apt-process stdin as stdin for the child directly (We don't do
this if it is a terminal to be able to save the typed input in the log).

dpkg checks now for dependencies before running triggers, so that
packages can now end up in trigger states (especially those we are not
touching at all with our calls) after apt is done running.
The solution to this is trivial: Just tell dpkg to configure everything
after we have (supposely) configured everything already. In the worst
case this means dpkg will have to run a bunch of triggers, usually it
will just do nothing though.
The code to make this happen was already available, so we just flip a
config option here to cause it to be run. This way we can keep
pretending that triggers are an implementation detail of dpkg.
--triggers-only would supposely work as well, but --configure is more
robust in regards to future changes to dpkg and something we will
hopefully make use of in future versions anyway (as it was planed at the
time this and related options were implemented).
Note that dpkg currently has a workaround implemented to allow upgrades
to jessie to be clean, so that the test works before and after. Also
note that test (compared to the one in the bug) drops the await test as
its is considered a loop by dpkg now.

If we have no controlling terminal opening a terminal will make this
terminal our controller, which is a serious problem if this happens to
be the pseudo terminal we created to run dpkg in as we will close this
terminal at the end hanging ourself up in the process…
The offending open is the one we do to have at least one slave fd open
all the time, but for good measure, we apply the flag also to the slave
fd opening in the child process as we set the controlling terminal
explicitely here.
This is a regression from 150bdc9ca5d656f9fba94d37c5f4f183b02bd746 with
the slight twist that this usecase was silently broken before in that it
wasn't logging the output in term.log (as a pseudo terminal wasn't
created).

We run dpkg on its own pty, so we can log its output and have our own
output around it (like the progress bar), while also allowing debconf
and configfile prompts to happen.
In commit 223ae57d468fdcac451209a095047a07a5698212 we changed to
constantly reopening the slave for kfreebsd. This has the sideeffect
though that in some cases slave and master will lose their connection on
linux, so that no output is passed along anymore. We fix this by having
always an fd referencing the slave open (linux), but we don't use it
(kfreebsd).
Failing to get our PTY up and running has many (bad) consequences
including (not limited to, nor all at ones or in any case) garbled ouput,
no output, no logging, a (partial) mixture of the previous items, …
This commit is therefore also reshuffling quiet a bit of the creation
code to get especially the output part up and running on linux and the
logging for kfreebsd.
Note that the testcase tries to cover some cases, but this is an
interactivity issue so only interactive usage can really be a good test.

The fd moves out of scope here anyway, so we should close it properly
instead of leaking it which will tickle down to dpkg maintainer scripts.
