1- We can cache the result of the first xbps_pkgdb_init() when it fails
and avoid the malloc/free/access from it.
2- We cache the uname(2) result into a private var in xbps_handle and
use it in xbps_pkg_arch_match().
This improves performance by ~5% approx and it's close as it was before
introducing the repository index format 1.5.
Packages that were previously registered in repository's pkg-index.plist
and are now unaccessible are removed.
This fixes issue #1 in github.com/vanilla/xbps.
- There's no need to check rval for prop_dictionary_get_*, we are sure the
objects are there at prop_dictionary_set_* time.
- Avoid two chdir(2) calls per INSTALL/REMOVE run.
- Avoid using access(2) to check for existence of INSTALL/REMOVE scripts,
just try to run the executable directly and check for ENOENT.
* Add proplib-0.4.1 source and use it in XBPS. This is to avoid
an external dependency, so that we depend on the features of the
internal library. This also means that proplib is not required anymore.
* Added support to read/write gzip compressed plists by default, thanks
to proplib-0.4 that gained new functionality.
That means that from now, XBPS will be able to write compressed gzip
plist files for all metadata related work. This will vastly reduce
bandwidth required for fetching remote repo's pkg index file and
binary packages.

The implementation works as expected, it was easier that I thought.
Bump XBPS_RELVER because the API was changed slightly.

libxbps:
- Moved repolist code to lib/repository_pool.c.
- Renamed xbps_{prepare,release}_repolist_data() to
xbps_repository_pool_{init,release} respectively.
- Moved regpkgdb dict code to lib/regpkgs_dictionary.c.
- Renamed xbps_{prepare,release}_regpkgdb_dict() to
xbps_regpkgs_dictionary_{init,release} respectively.
- Use a global reference count for repository_pool and regpkgs_dictionary,
this gives a substantial performance gain while looking for dependencies
in repository pool, among other things.
- Make xbps_find_pkg_* functions return errno and use it to detect
for spurious errors in code using them.
- Add code to detect when a dependency is already unpacked.
xbps-bin:
- Do not set pkg state to unpacked in the transaction, it's set already
while a package is unpacked.
- While installing or updating packages, it now knows when a dependency
is already unpacked and shows it as "unconfigured".
Bump XBPS_RELVER to 20091126.

- genindex: use new recently added function, remove some objects from
generated pkg dictionaries, they will be fetched remotely.
- moved some code from main.c into repository.c.

While looking at the archive for the XBPS_PKGPROPS file, it's unlikely
that it will have it after reading 6 entries, so discard it completely
and show an error message.
The XBPS_PKGPROPS it's always there at index <= 4.

- xbps-repo: move protos to defs.h and remove index.h and util.h.
- xbps-bin: move code that belongs to it from xbps-repo to show-info-files.c.

checked for any spurious error, this should make the core more safer :-)
