Also in old changelogs, but nothing really user visible
like error messages or alike so barely noteworthy.

This makes it easier to see which headers includes what.

The changes were done by running

    git grep -l '#\s*include'  \
        | grep -E '.(cc|h)$' \
        | xargs sed -i -E 's/(^\s*)#(\s*)include/\1#\2 include/'

To modify all include lines by adding a space, and then running
./git-clang-format.sh.

We support installing ./foo.deb (and ./foo.dsc for source) for a while
now, but it can be a bit clunky to work with those directly if you e.g.
build packages locally in a 'central' build-area.

The changes files also include hashsums and can be signed, so this can
also be considered an enhancement in terms of security as a user "just"
has to verify the signature on the changes file then rather than
checking all deb files individually in these manual installation
procedures.

The main part is refactoring through to allow hiding the magic needed to
support .deb files in deeper layers of libapt so that frontends have
less exposure to Debian specific classes like debDebPkgFileIndex.

<title>add volatile sources support in libapt-pkg</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5465192b9aeb1ccea778950ccf2d1b7b32f2cd91</id>
<content type='text'>
Sources are usually defined in sources.list (and co) and are pretty
stable, but once in a while a frontend might want to add an additional
"source" like a local .deb file to install this package (No support for
'real' sources being added this way as this is a multistep process).

We had a hack in place to allow apt-get and apt to pull this of for a
short while now, but other frontends are either left in the cold by this
and/or the code for it looks dirty with FIXMEs plastering it and has on
top of this also some problems (like including these 'volatile' sources
in the srcpkgcache.bin file).

So the biggest part in this commit is actually the rewrite of the cache
generation as it is now potentially a three step process. The biggest
problem with adding support now through is that this makes a bunch of
previously mostly unusable by externs and therefore hidden classes
public, so a bit of further tuneing on this now public API is in order…

<title>remove the longtime deprecated vendor{,list} stuff</title>

History suggests that this comes from an earlier apt-secure
implementation, but never really became a thing, totally unused and
marked as deprecated for "ages" now. Especially as it did nothing even
if it would have been used (libapt itself didn't use it at all).

<title>bring back deb822 sources.list entries as .sources</title>

Having two different formats in the same file is very dirty and causes
external tools to fail hard trying to parse them. It is probably not a
good idea for them to parse them in the first place, but they do and we
shouldn't break them if there is a better way.

So we solve this issue for now by giving our deb822 format a new
filename extension ".sources" which unsupporting applications are likely
to ignore an can begin gradually moving forward rather than waiting for
the unknown applications to catch up.

Currently and for the forseeable future apt is going to support both
with the same feature set as documented in the manpage, with the
longtime plan of adopting the 'new' format as default, but that is a
long way to go and might get going more from having an easier time
setting options than from us pushing it explicitely.
