<title>Show permission error if ProxyAutoDetect cmd can't be executed</title>

<content type='text'>
As the proxy commands are not executed as root, a user can run into
permission errors (s)he isn't expecting – as our switching is an
implementation detail – so the error message in that case should really
be better than a generic "error code 100" sending the user in the wrong
direction as that implies the command was executed, but errored out.

<title>rename Checksum-FileSize to Filesize in hashsum mismatch</title>

Some people do not recognize the field value with such an arcane name
and/or expect it to refer to something different (e.g. #839257).
We can't just rename it internally as its an avoidance strategy as such
fieldname existed previously with less clear semantics, but we can spare
the general public from this implementation detail.

<content type='text'>
For "Hash Sum mismatch" that info doesn't make a whole lot of
difference, but for the new insufficient info message an indicator that
while this hashes are there and even match, they aren't enough from a
security standpoint.

<id>urn:sha1:9515ed7bcdb32c7985ca83d309beda7155d02136</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a subtile difference between an empty setting and "DIRECT" in
the configuration as the later overrides the generic settings while the
earlier does not. Also, non-zero exitcodes should really be reported as
an error rather than silently discarded.

Regression introduced in 8f858d560e3b7b475c623c4e242d1edce246025a.

Commands are probably better of always having output through as the
fall through to the generic proxy settings is likely not intended. As
documenting and implementing this more consistently is kind of a
regression through, it is split off into the next commit.

<content type='text'>
Users tend to report these errors with just this error message… not very
actionable and hard to figure out if this is a temporary or 'permanent'
mirror-sync issue or even the occasional apt bug.

Showing the involved hashsums and modification times should help in
triaging these kind of bugs – and eventually we will have less of them
via by-hash.

The subheaders aren't marked for translation for now as they are
technical glibberish and probably easier to deal with if not translated.
After all, our iconic "Hash Sum mismatch" is translated at least.

These additions were proposed in #817240 by Peter Palfrader.

This is a duplicate of sorts of 0efb29eb36184bbe6de7b1013d1898796d94b171
which is the a lot more frequent case of this error – and also a
duplicate of this error message, just without the \n at the end.

This doesn't allow all tests to run cleanly, but it at least allows to
write tests which could run successfully in such environments.
