Passing function pointers around while working on this was very icky,
but if weak symbols are too much to ask for…

Reverts "do not use "-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions" during the build to avoid
breakage" aka a5fc9be36211a290a7abc3ca2a8bf98943bc1f57.

<title>wrap every unlink call to check for != /dev/null</title>

Unlinking /dev/null is bad, we shouldn't do that. Also, we should print
at least a warning if we tried to unlink a file but didn't manage to
pull it of (ignoring the case were the file is /dev/null or doesn't
exist in the first place).

This got triggered by a relatively unlikely to cause problem in
pkgAcquire::Worker::PrepareFiles which would while temporary
uncompressed files (which are set to keep compressed) figure out that to
files are the same and prepare for sharing by deleting them. Bad move.
That also shows why not printing a warning is a bad idea as this hide
the error for in non-root test runs.

The general idea is: A small paragraph on the tool itself as a
description, a list of the most used (!= all) commands available in the
tool, a remark where to find more information on the tool and its
commands (aka: in the manpage) and finally a common block referring to
even more manpages. In exchange options are completely omitted from the
output as well as deprecated or obscure commands. (Better) Information
about them is available in the manpages anyway and the few options which
were listed before were also the least interesting ones (-o -c -q and co
are hardly of interest for someone totally new looking to find info by
asking for help and anyone with a bit of experience doesn't need this
short list. Those would need a list of options applying to the command
they call, but they are too numerous and command specific to list them
sanely in this context.

apt is supposed to be a user-friendly interface, so while these commands
are usually poweruser material and therefore do not need to be shown in
general introduction manpages/help messages its of no use to not allow
users to use them.

This includes clean, autoclean, build-dep, source, download, changelog,
depends, rdepends and showsrc – it doesn't include more non-interactive
commands like dump or xvcg as those are usually used by scripts if at
all.

Its not as simple as I initially thought to abstract this enough to make
it globally usable, so lets not pollute global namespace with this for
now.

This ensures that location strings loaded from a location specified via
configuration (Dir::Locale) effect the help messages for commands.
