This commit potentially breaks code feeding apt an encoded URI using a
method which does not get URIs send encoded. The webserverconfig
requests in our tests are an example for this – but they only worked
before if the server was expecting a double encoding as that was what
was happening to an encoded URI: so unlikely to work as expected in
practice.

Now with the new methods we can drop this double encoding and rely on
the URI being passed properly (and without modification) between the
layers so that passing in encoded URIs should now work correctly.

We do not deal a lot with URIs which need encoding, but then we do it is
a pain that we store it decoded in the acquire system as it means we
have to decode and reencode URIs eventually which is potentially giving
us slightly different URIs.

We see that in our own testing framework while setting up redirects as
the config options are effectively double-encoded and decoded to pass
them around successfully as otherwise %2f and / in an URI are treated
the same.

This commit adds the infrastructure for methods to opt into getting URIs
send in encoded form (and returning them to us in encoded form, too) so
that we eventually do not have to touch the URIs which is how it should
be. This means though that we have to deal with methods who do not
support this yet (aka: all at the moment) for which we decode and encode
while communicating with them.

This experiment did not turn out sensibly, as some servers do not
accept credentials when none are expected and fail, so you cannot
mirror such a repository.

This reverts commit c2b9b0489538fed4770515bd8853a960b13a2618.

<title>Remove failed trusted signature instead of index on IMS hit</title>

While passing the combi Release and Release.gpg to the gpgv method for
verification the filename of Release is placed where usually Release.gpg
is assumed in the rest of the code. The "usual" cases like passing
verification and failing verification ending in an error are taking care
of this, but the code path dealing with a failed verification, but
ignoring said failure (e.g. due to trusted=yes) was not which results in
the wrong file being removed later on (in case the index happens to be
unmodified since the last update call) leading us into the abyss of
strange failures (fixed in the previous commit) were nothing should have
changed.

This is not a security issue in this form as the repository needs to fail
verification &amp; the user forcing apt to ignore the failure and carry on
anyhow. It does show however how complicated the code and its various
interconnected paths can become.

If we have no old Release file, but old indices we can't compare
hashsums with the new Release file and hence must request the indices
again and have to react to IMS hits if they didn't change.

We used to symlink the old index file to the partial directory, but that
usually meant that we linked an uncompressed file to a compressed file,
which  not all uncompressors can deal with transparently resulting in
strange failures.

We could do without the symlink, but that would require changes in the
codepaths dealing with failure as they would rename the file to FAILED.

Unused variable, std::algorithms instead of raw for-loops.
There should be no observeable difference in behaviour.
