Provide snapshot support for offical Debian and Ubuntu archives.
There are two ways to enable snapshots for sources:
1. Add Snapshot: yes to your sources file ([snapshot=yes]). This
will allow you to specify a snapshot to use when updating or
installing using the --snapshot,-S option.
2. Add Snapshot: ID to your sources files to request a specific
snapshot for this source.
Snapshots are discovered using Label and Origin fields in the Release
file of the main source, hence you need to have updated the source at
least once before you can use snapshots.
The Release file may also declare a snapshots server to use, similar
to Changelogs, it can contain a Snapshots field with the values:
1. `Snapshots: https://example.com/@SNAPSHOTID@` where `@SNAPSHOTID@`
is a placeholder that is replaced with the requested snapshot id
2. `Snapshots: no` to disable snapshot support for this source.
Requesting snapshots for this source will result in a failure
to load the source.
The implementation adds a SHADOWED option to deb source entries,
and marks the main entry as SHADOWED when a snapshot has been
requested, which will cause it to be updated, but not included
in the generated cache.
The concern here was that we need to keep generating the shadowed
entries because the cleanup in `apt update` deletes any files not
queued for download, so we gotta keep downloading the main source.
This design is not entirely optimal, but avoids the pitfalls of
having to reimplement list cleanup.
Gaps:
- Ubuntu Pro repositories and PPAs are not yet supported.
Release 2.6.0, the "unhappy bookworm" release2023-03-06T12:30:01ZJulian Andres Klodejulian.klode@canonical.com2023-03-06T12:30:01Zurn:sha1:aa8c9aad81b57da96e8ac7345d0024ee526c7714Add non-free-firmware component in documentation2023-01-29T23:55:30ZDavid Kalnischkiesdavid@kalnischkies.de2023-01-29T16:30:28Zurn:sha1:7e7eb113587230aeb9fe745b2eeac44e634999f5
This changes a lot of lines technically, but its easy enough to unfuzzy
the translations as most of the mentions are examples to be copied
literally in translations (sadly po4a isn't clever enough for this).

Extend the Signed-By field to handle embedded public key blocks,
this allows shipping self-contained .sources files, making it
substantially easier to provide third party repositories.
