The test test-handle-redirect-as-used-mirror-change serves multiple
clients at the same time, so the order of the output is undefined and
once in a while the two clients will intermix their lines causing the
grep we perform on it later to fail making our tests fail.

Solved by introducing client-specific logfiles which we all grep and
sort the result to have the results more stable.

If the server told us in a previous request that it isn't supporting
Ranges with bytes via an Accept-Ranges header missing bytes, we don't
try to formulate requests using Ranges.

It seems completely pointless from a server-POV to sent empty header
fields, so most of them don't do it (simply proven by this limitation
existing since day one) – but it is technically allowed by the RFC as
the surounding whitespaces are optional and Github seems to like sending
"X-Geo-Block-List:\r\n" since recently (bug reports in other http
clients indicate July) at least sometimes as the reporter claims to have
seen it on https only even through it can happen with both.

<title>use +0000 instead of UTC by default as timezone in output</title>

All apt versions support numeric as well as 3-character timezones just
fine and its actually hard to write code which doesn't "accidently"
accepts it. So why change? Documenting the Date/Valid-Until fields in
the Release file is easy to do in terms of referencing the
datetime format used e.g. in the Debian changelogs (policy §4.4). This
format specifies only the numeric timezones through, not the nowadays
obsolete 3-character ones, so in the interest of least surprise we should
use the same format even through it carries a small risk of regression
in other clients (which encounter repositories created with
apt-ftparchive).

In case it is really regressing in practice, the hidden option
  -o APT::FTPArchive::Release::NumericTimezone=0
can be used to go back to good old UTC as timezone.

The EDSP and EIPP protocols use this 'new' format, the text interface
used to communicate with the acquire methods does not for compatibility
reasons even if none of our methods would be effected and I doubt any
other would (in these instances the timezone is 'GMT' as that is what
HTTP/1.1 requires). Note that this is only true for apt talking to
methods, (libapt-based) methods talking to apt will respond with the
'new' format.  It is therefore strongly adviced to support both also in
method input.

Breaking here lets our handler die which a client will fix by
reconnecting… but that eats time needlessly and is simple the wrong
handling, too.

Iceweasel^WFirefox complains about the missing encoding in its console
which can be a bit annoying in interactive sessions, so fixing these
issues has no effect on apt itself, but on the testers.
