This accidentally had two apt in it. This fixes a regression
from commit 8757a0f.

This allows other vendors to use different paths, or to build
your own APT in /opt for testing. Note that this uses + 1 in
some places, as the paths we receive are absolute, but we need
to strip of the initial /.

Usually these config options are set to sensible values, but if init
isn't run or the user interferes with configuration clearing or similar
the options could indeed carry an empty value, which will result in
FindDir returning a '/'. That feels kinda wrong, but as a public
interface there isn't much we can do about it and instead make it so
that we get the special file /dev/null back we know how to deal with in
such cases.

<title>eipp: let apt make a plan, not make stuff plane</title>

Julian noticed on IRC that I fall victim to a lovely false friend by
calling referring to a 'planer' all the time even through these are
machines to e.g. remove splinters from woodwork ("make stuff plane").
The term I meant is written in german in this way (= with a single n)
but in english there are two, aka: 'planner'.

As that is unreleased code switching all instances without any
transitional provisions. Also the reason why its skipped in changelog.

<content type='text'>
In 385d9f2f23057bc5808b5e013e77ba16d1c94da4 I implemented the storage of
scenario files based on enabling this by default for EIPP, but I
implemented it first optionally for EDSP to have it independent.

The reasons mentioned in the earlier commit (debugging and bugreports)
obviously apply here, especially as EIPP solutions aren't user approved,
nearly impossible to verify before starting the execution and at the
time of error the scenario has changed already, so that reproducing the
issue becomes hard(er).

<content type='text'>
Weak had no dedicated option before and Insecure and Downgrade were both
global options, which given the effect they all have on security is
rather bad. Setting them for individual repositories only isn't great
but at least slightly better and also more consistent with other
settings for repositories.

<content type='text'>
With this commit all APT-based clients default to refusing to work with
unsigned or otherwise insufficently secured repositories. In terms of
apt and apt-get this changes nothing, but it effects all tools using
libapt like aptitude, synaptic or packagekit.

The exception remains apt-get for stretch for now as this might break
too many scripts/usecases too quickly.

The documentation is updated and extended to reflect how to opt out or
in on this behaviour change.

<content type='text'>
For bugreports and co it could be handy to have the scenario and all the
settings used in it around later for inspection for EDSP like protocols.
EDSP might not be the most interesting as the user can still interrupt
the process before the solution is applied and users tend to have an
opinion on the "rightness" of a solution, so it is disabled by default.

<title>use local changelog from /usr/share/doc if possible</title>

If pkgAcqChangelog is told to acquire the changelog for a version it
will check first if this version is installed on the disk and if so will
use the local changelog in /usr/share/doc (possibily/likely gz
compressed) instead of downloading the file from the web.

An option is provided to disable this, which is enabled by default for
the Ubuntu vendor as they truncate the local changelogs – and for apts
--print-uris action.
