Record a silly string if we backtracked such that we are aware
of it. We need to handle this in a broader fashion, but
this was at least breaking test-apt-never-markauto-sections
with remove-manual

Do not prevent us from changing the version of a foreign package
because a sibling that is being removed has a different candidate.

<title>Implement architecture variants</title>

Architecture variants are children of an architecture that share
the same ABI but are optimized for different ISA levels. They
are available in Ubuntu 25.10 and newer, and not supported in
Debian or other distributions.

A deb built for a variant contains the Architecture-Variant field,
and the Architecture field points to the baseline, for example:

    Architecture: amd64
    Architecture-Variant: amd64v3

However, the apt-get indextargets command reports the variant in the
Architecture: field, and most of the code in APT presents the variant
as the architecture.

There are two types of variants:

1. Standalone variants are recorded in the Architectures field of the
   Release file as if they were a real architecture:

        Architectures: amd64 amd64v3

   Standalone architecture variants only fetch the standalone
   architecture variant's Packages file. To do this, this patch
   changes the code such that the variants indextargets "supplant"
   the base targets.

   This may have complicated outcomes on the apt-get indextargets
   command.

2. Other variants can only be identified by their files being recorded
   with hashes in the Release file.

   APT fetches both the base architecture's as well as the variant's
   Packages file.

Variants are configured in the

    APT::Architecture-Variants

list.

Image builders may want to build specific variant images using

    APT::Architecture-Variants { "amd64v3"; }

But this commit also implements an automatic discovery mechanism
using the varianttable and /proc/cpuinfo.

    APT::Architecture-Variants "auto";

<title>solver3: Eagerly satisfy previously satisfied Recommends</title>

When a user ran `apt install gpg`, the solver decided to remove
`gnupg` and `seahorse` because `seahorse` was only pulled in as
a Recommends of ubuntu-desktop and Recommends were resolved after
all other dependencies.

Solve this to most extent by introducing eager optionality: These
dependencies, while they do not take part in classic unit propagation,
are otherwise treated like hard dependencies and resolved as soon
as possible rather than after any hard dependencies.

This ensures that the Recommends of ubuntu-desktop on seahorse
is retained correctly, and as a result, gnupg is updated to the
latest version.

Rather than just setting the flags to 0 or FD_CLOEXEC, read
the current value and append or remove as needed.

<content type='text'>
Implement a wrapper around FD_CLOEXEC and use it in place of
the raw fcntl(). This wrapper _Exit()s the child if the operation
failed.

Restructure the close_range() handling to simply mark all fds for
closing first and then "reopen" the ones we should keep.
