Providing the benefits of both without the downsides :)
(ABI breaks or external dependencies)
For this Anthonys rred is equipped with:
- magic-filename-pickup of patches rather than explicit messages
- use of FileFd instead of FILE* to get on-the-fly uncompress
of the gzip compressed pdiff patches
The acquire code in turn stops checking for apt-file's helper
as our own rred is now clever enough for our needs.

The idea of pdiffs is to avoid downloading the hole file by patching the
existing index. This works very well, but becomes slow if a lot of
patches needs to be applied to reconstruct an up-to-date index and in
recent years more and more dinstall (or similar) runs are executed
creating more and more pdiffs in the same amount of time, so pdiffs
became less useful.
The solution is simple: Reduce the amount of patches (which are very
small) which need to be applied on top of the index we have available
(which is usually pretty big).
This can be done in two ways: Either merge the patches on the
server-side so that the client has to download only one patch or the
patches are all downloaded and merged on the client-side.
The first needs a client who is doing one step at a time who can also
skip patches if it needs (APT supports this for a long time now).
The later is implemented by this commit, but depends on the server NOT
merging the patches and the patches being in a strict order in which no
patch is skipped.
This is traditionally the case for dak, but other repository creators
support merging – e.g. reprepro (which helpfully adds a flag indicating
that the patches are merged). To support both or even mixes a client
needs more information which isn't available for now.
This POC uses the external diffindex-rred included in apt-file to
do the heavy lifting of merging & applying all patches in one pass,
hence to test this feature apt-file needs to be installed.

This fixes a regression in the conffile prompt for the progress-fd
and adds a testcase to ensure this does not regress again.

With the net-update command a special keyring can be downloaded and
imported into apt, which must be signed by a master key. Its is
currently disabled because of security problems with it – and the only
known user before that was Ubuntu.

The URI to use to set a config option is a bit arcane to write/remember
and checking if the setting was successful doubly so.

As testcases are running really fast it can happen that files which are
changed in reality are considered unchanged as the modify time isn't
changed. What we could do is disable those caches by default, but some
tests actually depend on those and deriving too much from the default by
default (pun intended) is not a good idea for tests after all.

Clients like browsers prefer to open many connections and keep them open
for a while, so that pages with lot of subelements would take a while to
load (if at all), by using threads as all servers do some way or another
we can resolve this. libapt is not intended to be pthread-safe and stuff
like the storage of the last return code doesn't make too much sense if
multiple clients interact with us, but it is good enough for now and an
other interesting (mis)use of libapt in general.

Again, not (currently) used by the tests itself, but in interactive
usage of the webserver itself.

pretty much useless for the testcases, but handy to test the webserver
itself in 'real world' environments

Webserver wrongly sends an additional newline after the data which
causes curl to believe that the next request on this socket has no
header data and so includes all headers in the data output.
