* 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.
* FDDataWriter and ZlibDataWriter weren't used anymore.
* AbstractDataWriter was implemented only by PackageFileHeapWriter,
which was only used by WriterImplBase.
* Add a PackageFileHeapWriter::AddDataThrows() which has semantics
equivalent to the previously inherited WriteDataThrows().
* This will be used to implement compressed http streams
* Remove the custom BDataOutput class, and use BDataIO instead, for
easier integration with existing code.
* Introduce new package attribute B_HPKG_ATTRIBUTE_ID_PACKAGE (valid
only in a repository file) to group the attributes belonging to a
package.
* BRepositoryContentHandler:
- No longer derive from BPackageContentHandler.
- Add hooks HandlePackage() and HandlePackageDone() that bracket the
attributes for a package. This is more explicit and robust than
handlers having to guess when one package ended and the next began.
* BRepositoryCache: Make use of BPackageInfoContentHandler. No need to
duplicate the code for reading a package info from package info
attributes.
* Introduce BPackageWriterParameters which comprises all parameters
for package creation, currently flags and compression level. Such an
object can be passed to BPackageWriter::Init() and is passed on to
PackageWriterImpl and WriterImplBase.
* PackageFileHeapWriter: Add compressionLevel property and pass the
value on to ZlibCompressor.
* package add/create: Add options -0 ... -9 to specify the compression
level to be used.
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.
Add flags parameter to BPackageWriter::Init() (and the private
implementation classes) to indicate that an existing package file shall
be updated instead of created. Currently that always happens in-place.
To avoid a clash with the regular version or an extra attribute level we
use the "package:provides.compatible" package attribute instead of
"package:version.major".
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)

* PackageWriterImpl no longer accesses members of WriterImplBase
directly, but uses getters/setters instead
* package attribute registration has been moved from PackageWriterImpl
to WriterImplBase, as it will be used in the same manner by the
RepositoryWriter

* 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
