apt is supposed to be a user-friendly interface, so while these commands
are usually poweruser material and therefore do not need to be shown in
general introduction manpages/help messages its of no use to not allow
users to use them.
This includes clean, autoclean, build-dep, source, download, changelog,
depends, rdepends and showsrc – it doesn't include more non-interactive
commands like dump or xvcg as those are usually used by scripts if at
all.

-q is for logging and -qqq (old -qq) basically kills every output expect
errors, so there should be a way of declaring a middleground in which
the output of e.g. 'update' isn't as verbose, but still shows some
things. The test framework was actually making use of by accident as it
ignored the quiet level in output setup for apt before.
Eventually we should figure out some better quiet levels for all tools…

We had a very similar method previously for our own private usage, but
with some generalisation we can move this check into the acquire system
proper so that all frontends profit from this compatibility change.
As we are disabling a security feature here a warning is issued and
frontends are advised to consider reworking their download logic if
possible.
Note that this is implemented as an all or nothing situation: We can't
just (not) drop privileges for a subset of the files in a fetcher, so in
case you have to download some files with and some without you need to
use two fetchers.

Further abstracting our new ShowList allows to use it for containers of
strings as well giving us the option to implement an or-groups display
for the recommends and suggests lists which is a nice trick given that
it also helps with migrating the last remaining other cases of old
ShowList.

We are checking the space requirements for ages, but the check uses the
free blocks count, which includes the blocks reserved for usage by root.
Now that we use an unprivileged user it has no access to these blocks
anymore – and more importantly these blocks are a reserve, they
shouldn't be used by apt without special encouragement by the user as it
would be bad to have dpkg run out of diskspace and maintainerscripts
like man-db skip certain actions if not enough space is available
freely.

Privilege dropping breaks download/source/changelog commands as they
require the _apt user to have write permissions in the current directory,
which is e.g. the case in /tmp, but not in /root, so we disable the
privilege dropping if we deal with such a directory based on idea and
code by Michael Vogt.
The alternative would be to download always to a temp directory and move
it then done, but this breaks partial file support. To resolve this, we
could move to one of our partial/ directories, but this would require a
lock which would block root from using two of these commands in
parallel. As both seems unacceptable we instead let the user choose what
to do: Either a directory is setupped for _apt, downloading as root is
accepted or – which is potentially even better – an unprivileged user is
used for the commands.

This will show the same unauthenticated warning for source packages
as for binary packages and will not download a source package if
it is unauthenticated. This can be overridden with
--allow-unauthenticated

While it is a huge undertaking to enable it for our public libraries as
basically everything we exported so far could be seen as public
interface our private library is new and under our full control, so we
can do whatever we like with it. The benefits are not that big in return
of course, but it reduces the size a bit, so thats great nontheless.

Beside being a bit cleaner it hopefully also resolves oddball problems
I have with high levels of parallel jobs.

refactor the fetching process so that it looks more like the
others we have in the hope that we can reuse code in the future.
This is a soft interface change as 'source' previously printed
errors directly on stderr, while it will now push it onto our usual
error stack.
