<id>urn:sha1:97d6c3b2d05fe0d965657197adf56cc78f9edf81</id>
<content type='text'>
Every method opts in to getting the encoded URI passed along while
keeping compat in case we are operated by an older acquire system.

Effectively this is just a change for the http-based methods as the
others just decode the URI as they work with files directly.

The acquire system mode does this for a long time already and as it is
easy to implement and handy for manual testing as well we can support
it in the other modes, too.

<content type='text'>
Merging patches is a bit of non-trivial code we have for client-side
work, but as we support also server-side merging we can export this
functionality so that server software can reuse it.

Note that this just cleans up and makes rred behave a bit more like all
our other binaries by supporting setting configuration at runtime and
supporting --help and --version. If you can make due without this, the
now advertised functionality is provided already in earlier versions.

This needs a fair amount of changes elsewhere in the code,
hence this is separate from the previous commits.

This reduces the number of syscalls to about 140 from about
350 or so, significantly reducing security risks.

Also change prepare-release to ignore the architecture lists
in the build dependencies when generating the build-depends
package for travis.

We might want to clean up things a bit more and/or move it
somewhere else.

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.

rred can fail for a plentory of reasons, but its failure is usually
recoverable (Ign lines) so it shouldn't leak unrequested debug messages
to an observing user.

<title>try not to call memcpy with length 0 in hash calculations</title>

<id>urn:sha1:644478e8db56f305601c3628a74e53de048b28c8</id>
<content type='text'>
memcpy is marked as nonnull for its input, but ignores the input anyhow
if the declared length is zero. Our SHA2 implementations do this as
well, it was "just" MD5 and SHA1 missing, so we add the length check
here as well as along the callstack as it is really pointless to do all
these method calls for "nothing".

<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.
