RestrictAddressFamilies used to not have an option to restrict all
address families, but systemd 249 introduced a special value "none"
exactly for this purpose.

Adds an option to not attempt to sync the CHECKUPDATES_DB. This provides
a way to very quickly get a list of outdated packages provided there is
a different mechanism to update CHECKUPDATES_DB already in place such as
a crontab entry or systemd.timer.

`pacman -Fy` is a modern replacement for `pkgfile`[1].

This service/timer makes `pacman -Fy` have feature parity with
`pkgfile`.

The unit files were based on both pkgfile and paccache, for consistency
with the existing ecosystem.

In 19ab4fac (pacdiff: Add option to use sudo/sudoedit to manage files,
2021-03-27), pacdiff was taught to accept -s to run various commands
with $SUDO. This introduced many instances of $SUDO in merge_file()
where most of them are unnecessary.

In particular, it is not necessary to $SUDO to write the temporary files
as /tmp should be writable by all[0][1].

Also, the usage of sudoedit when comparing the original file with the
merge result is unnecessary. This is because root permissions are not
really required since users should not write to the original file
anyway. The merged file will be used to overwrite the original file at
the end of the function anyway.

Remove these unnecessary usages of $SUDO.

In the event there are no sources, there won't be sums either. awk won't
find any to remove and replace inline, so it tries to print "" at the
end of the file, and merely adds superfluous newlines.

Abort early instead, since updpkgsums cannot be expected to process such
a file.

In "add front-end provided context to callbacks", libalpm gained a new
argument to callbacks which we don't use and is only needed by some
frontends wishing to do stuff with the callback state. NULL it and move
on with life, just like pacman itself did.

This allows the user to run their diff program as their own user instead
of root. The advantage of this approach is that they can use their own

Currently, pacdiff only allows users to diff between the current file
and the new file. However, the merging of files could be automated by
the use of some 3-way merge utility.

Teach pacdiff the (M)erge mode which performs a 3-way merge using a
given $MERGEPROG (`diff3 -m` by default). The base file is taken from
from the second-newest package in the cache.

The input loop repeats the `ask` code twice. In a future commit, we will
be introducing another instance of the `ask` code. This makes it
possible to mistakenly make the code to get out of sync.

Refactor the loop so that the `ask` code happens once at the top of the
loop. This introduces one functional change in the "Invalid answer" case
but it also makes it more consistent with the remaining cases.

The way that the awk script used for fetching files from the pacdb is
indented is very misleading. It appears as if the `print $1` is part of
the if.

Unindent the `print $1` and the following closing brace so that it's
obvious that they are part of the while.
