This function returns and internalized dictionary from a package's metadata
plist file as specified by its arguments.
Update all code to use it where appropiate.
- 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.
This new target 'find-files' can be used to find which installed
package(s) own a file. Exact matches like "/bin/mount" or patterns
like "/usr/lib/libb[ao]b\*" can be specified.
Includes the following change:
* When replacing a package that is going to be updated in the transaction
do not remove it, just overwrite its files and continue. The updated
package will find that old files didn't match the SHA256 hash and will
skip them. This solves the issue of new package updates requiring new
dependencies with files that were previously stored in the old version.
For example gtk+-2.20 containing gdk-pixbuf, and gtk+-2.22 requiring
gdk-pixbuf externally.
Changes included in this set:
* Added strlcat() and strlcpy() from OpenBSD, always use them if the
system does not have them built in.
* Changed an array of PATH_MAX size allocated in the stack, to a dynamically
allocated buffer from heap. This should reduce memory usage a bit.
* Simplify code that implemented a homegrown realpath(3) implementation,
simply use realpath(3).
* If compiler supports -fstack-protector, build all code with
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 and --param ssp-buffer-size=1 so that all
buffers are protected.
* 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.

multiple '-' characters, which resulted in incomplete pkgname.
The fix is to always append '>=0' if a pkgname is specified, and passing
a pkgpattern to xbps_repository_install_pkg().

This helps to catch upgrade problems and simplifies some parts of the code.
Bumped XBPS_RELVER because xbps_remove_pkg() has been changed.

Some changes were made to the API when making the documentation:
- A few exported functions are now hidden, because they were only used
internally in the library.
- A few exported symbols were renamed to document them better than
previously.
- Cosmetic changes all along the way, as well as some fixes here and there.

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