* PackageFileHeap{Reader,Writer} as well as Package{Reader,Writer} and
their implementation and super classes do now internally use a
BPositionIO instead of a FD to access the package file. This provides
more flexibility needed for features to come.
* BPackageReader has already grown a new Init() version with a
BPositionIO* parameter.
* ReaderImplBase:
- Add virtual CreateCachedHeapReader() which can create a cached
reader based on the given heap reader.
- Rename HeapReader() to RawHeapReader() and add HeapReader() for the
cached heap reader.
- Add DetachHeapReader() to allow a clients to remove the heap
reader(s) after deleting the ReaderImplBase object.
* packagefs:
- Add CachedDataReader class, which wraps a given
BAbstractBufferedDataReader and provides caching for it using a
VMCache. The implementation is based on the IOCache implementation.
- Use CachedDataReader to wrap the heap reader. For file data that
means they are cached twice -- in the heap reader cache and in the
file cache -- but due to the heap reader using a VMCache as well,
the pages will be recycled automatically anyway. For attribute data
the cache should be very helpful, since they weren't cached at all
before.
* Add flags parameter to Init() of BPackageReader and friends.
* Introduce flag B_HPKG_READER_DONT_PRINT_VERSION_MISMATCH_MESSAGE and
don't print a version mismatch error when given.
* package extract/list: Use the new flag.
Instead of handling compression for individual file/attribute data we
do now compress the whole heap where they are stored. This
significantly improves compression ratios. We still divide the
uncompressed data into 64 KiB chunks and use a chunk offset array for
the compressed chunks to allow for quick random access without too much
overhead. The tradeoff is a limited possible compression ratio -- i.e.
we won't be as good as tar.gz (though surprisingly with my test
archives we did better than zip).
The other package file sections (package attributes and TOC) are no
longer compressed individually. Their uncompressed data are simply
pushed onto the heap where the usual compression strategy applies. To
simplify things the repository format has been changed in the same
manner although it doesn't otherwise use the heap, since it only stores
meta data.
Due to the data compression having been exposed in public and private
API, this change touches a lot of package kit using code, including
packagefs and the boot loader packagefs support. The latter two haven't
been tested yet. Moreover packagefs needs a new kind of cache so we
avoid re-reading the same heap chunk for two different data items it
contains.
handling:
* package attributes are now compatible with the low level attribute
handling of other HPKG attributes (such that 'package dump' now shows
package attributes, too)
* dropped type names from hpkg format, the attributes were identified
by IDs already and this simplifies the code considerably. Type names
are now handled in BLowLevelPackageHandler only.
* instead of rolling their own mechanism, high-level package attributes
handling is now implemented via a corresonding set of
AttributeHandler-subclasses
* adjusted package writer to only write package attributes that are
needed (empty ones are left out)

* pulled commonly useful parts out of PackageWriterImpl into
WriterImplBase
* moved CachedStringTable and related methods into a separate class,
StringCache, in order to support having more than one string cache
per package file
* made package attribute section use a string cache, too, as that's
going to be very useful for repositories
* instead of writing package attributes directly, we now collect
corresponding PackageAttributes and write those later
* adjusted package reader accordingly

section access into the SectionInfo structure, of which
PackageReaderImpl now keeps two instances and a pointer to the
current of these two
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@40359 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* added kernel-compatible datatypes for reading package info attribute
values (PackageInfoAttributeValue.h) - these will be used at a later
stage by the package-fs to transport those attributes to userland
when asked to do so (by ioctl)
* implemented parsing of package info attributes in PackageReaderImpl
* added support for compressed package attribute section to
PackageReaderImpl
* completed the writing of package info attributes in PackageWriterImpl
and fixed a couple of bugs exposed by parsing
* adjusted 'package list' to show the package info attributes as they
are found

public and private API (still far from ideal, but a start):
* moved several HPKG-classes into the public namespace BPackageKit::HPKG
* added fImpl-wrappers around PackageReader and PackageWriter to hide
most of the gory details
* adjusted 'package'-binary and packagefs accordingly
