This 'method' is the abstract base for http and https and should as such
be called out like this rather using an easily confused name.

<title>separating state variables regarding server/request</title>

<content type='text'>
Having a Reset(bool) method to partially reset certain variables like
the download size always were strange, so this commit splits the
ServerState into an additional RequestState living on the stack for as
long as we deal with this request causing an automatic "reset".

There is much to do still to make this code look better, but this is a
good first step which compiles cleanly and passes all tests, so keeping
it as history might be beneficial and due to avoiding explicit memory
allocations it ends up fixing a small memory leak in https, too.

Closes: #440057

<title>implement generic config fallback for methods</title>

<id>urn:sha1:30060442025824c491f58887ca7369f3c572fa57</id>
<content type='text'>
The https method implemented for a long while now a hardcoded fallback
to the same options in http, which, while it works, is rather inflexible
if we want to allow the methods to use another name to change their
behavior slightly, like apt-transport-tor does to https – most of the
diff being s#https#tor#g which then fails to do the full circle
fallthrough tor -&gt; https -&gt; http for https sources. With this config
infrastructure this could be implemented now.

<title>detect redirection loops in acquire instead of workers</title>

<content type='text'>
Having the detection handled in specific (http) workers means that a
redirection loop over different hostnames isn't detected. Its also not a
good idea have this implement in each method independently even if it
would work

methods/http.cc:640:13: runtime error: reference binding to null pointer
of type 'struct FileFd'

This reference is never used in the cases it has a nullptr, so the
practical difference is non-existent, but its a bug still.

We use a wild mixture of C and C++ ways of generating output, so having
a consistent world-view in both styles sounds like a good idea and
should help in preventing regressions.

Allows users who know what they are getting themselves into with this
trick to e.g. disable privilege dropping for e.g. file:// until they can
fix up the permissions on those repositories. It helps also the test
framework and people with a similar setup (= me) to run in less modified
environments.
