Add an OpenSSL backend to the checksum input stream, which is where we do a lot
of checksumming (object commit, static deltas).
The raw OpenSSL performance is
[approximately double](https://gist.github.com/cgwalters/169349fd1c06fd4fb4d3a7ce33303222) on
my laptop; not only does OpenSSL have e.g. hand-tuned x86_64 assembly, the
current implementation uses the
[Intel SHA extensions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_SHA_extensions).
Another reason to do this is I was idly thinking about adding
[Curve25519](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve25519) signatures (like e.g.
Alpine does) instead of/in addition to GPG. The rationale for that is
that GPG is pretty heavyweight, both in code footprint and the simple
fact that EC keys are way smaller.
I didn't benchmark ostree with this; we have bigger performance problems
really like the fact we just malloc way too much. But, it's a step
in the right direction I think in combination with the libcurl work
where we're linking to openssl anyways.

[Previously](https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/728) we added compile-time
checking for versions, but there are use cases for runtime checking as well,
because in a number of API calls we use `GVariant` as an API extension
mechanism.

Add a ostree_raw_file_to_archive_z2_stream_with_options() variant of
ostree_raw_file_to_archive_z2_stream(), to allow a compression-level
option to be passed in and passed through to zlib.
This is useful when building archive-z2 files on the fly for
transmission over a non-bandwidth-limited channel, such as a local
network. In this case, CPU time is more valuable than bandwidth, so we
want a low compression level.

The gzip default is 6. When I was writing this code, I chose 9 under
the assumption that for long-term archival, the extra compression was
worth it.
Turns out level 9 is really, really not worth it. Here's run at level 9
compressing the current Fedora Atomic Host into archive:
```
ostree --repo=repo pull-local repo-build fedora-atomic/25/x86_64/docker-host
real 2m38.115s
user 2m31.210s
sys 0m3.114s
617M repo
```
And here's the new default level of 6:
```
ostree --repo=repo pull-local repo-build fedora-atomic/25/x86_64/docker-host
real 0m53.712s
user 0m43.727s
sys 0m3.601s
619M repo
619M total
```
As you can see, we run almost *three times* faster, and we take up *less
than one percent* more space.
Conclusion: Using level 9 is dumb. And here's a run at compression level 1:
```
ostree --repo=repo pull-local repo-build fedora-atomic/25/x86_64/docker-host
real 0m24.073s
user 0m17.574s
sys 0m2.636s
643M repo
643M total
```
I would argue actually many people would prefer even this for "devel" repos.
For production repos, you want static deltas anyways. (However, perhaps
we should support a model where generating a delta involves re-compressing
fallback objects with a bit stronger compression level).
Anyways, let's make everyone's life better and switch the default to 6.

When reworking the ostree core [to use O_TMPFILE](https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/369),
I hit an issue in the way the untrusted delta codepath ends up trying
to re-open the file to checksum it. That's not possible with
`O_TMPFILE` since the fd (which we opened `O_WRONLY`) is the only
accessible reference to the content.
Fix this by changing the delta processing code to update a checksum as
we're doing writes, which is also faster, and ends up simplifying the
code as well.
What would be an even larger simplification here is if we e.g. used a
separate thread calling `write_object()` or something like that; the
main issue I see there is somehow bridging the fact that function
wants a `GInputStream*` but the delta code is generating stream of
writes.

The checksum_b64_inplace variants can't be used in bindings. Provide
versions that allocate and return the output rather than working on a
passed in buffer. These can then be used in GI bindings to get the
ostree modified base64 encodings.

This changes around a few things that didn't work for me:
* Section names seem to be ostree-* instead of libostree-*
* Also XML files are ostree-* (they didn't show up at all)
- gtk-doc doesn't seem to parse const _OSTREE_PUBLIC correctly
* pull documentation is now on the actual functions rather than stubs
* Update gitignore with some more files
And there some changes to make gtk-doc give fewer warnings (not finished)

It is quite similar to the already existing
ostree_raw_file_to_content_stream function, so I factored the common
part to a separate function. The difference is that we cannot report
the size of the resulting stream.
Can be useful for serving a "bare" repository as a faked "archive-z2"
repository.

Add a new object type: OSTREE_OBJECT_TYPE_TOMBSTONE_COMMIT that is
used when a commit was intentionally removed.
If the remote repository doesn't use tombstone commits, do not fail on
a missing commit (change 0b795785dd).
When the remote repository uses tombstones, if a commit cannot be
found, check if the tombstone file is present and fail if it is not
present.

Returns a GFile for the default system root, which is usually the root
directory unless overridden by the OSTREE_SYSROOT environment variable
(which is mainly intended for testing).
g_variant_builder_add() does not replace identical keys in a VARDICT
variant, so signing a commit multiple times results in multiple copies
of "ostree.gpgsigs" in the metadata. And since g_variant_lookup_value()
stops on the first match, subsequent signatures have no net effect.
Instead of GVariantBuilder use GVariantDict, which behaves more like a
hash table.
Starting down the path of not using libgsystem. The main win here
will be code sharing between ostree/rpm-ostree as well as going down
the path of not using GFile * for local files.
This will be used for a later change to use openat() for the fetching
code. Note that we drop the code to use mmap() - it was an attempt to
avoid keeping a fd open, but we do correctly close anyways.
You create these with something like:
ostree static-delta generate --empty --to=master
These will be automatically used during pull if no previous revision
exists in the target repo.
These work very much like the normal static deltas except they
are named just by the "to" revision. I.e:
deltas/94/f7d2dc23759dd21f9bd01e6705a8fdf98f90cad3e0109ba3f6c091c1a3774d
for a from-scratch to 94f7d2dc23759dd21f9bd01e6705a8fdf98f90cad3e0109ba3f6c091c1a3774d delta.

We don't want to allow MITM attackers to intercept upgrade requests
and provide clients with older OS versions vulnerable to security
flaws.
Only "ostree admin upgrade" gets this behavior for now - whether we
want to do it for "ostree admin switch" is another question.
This has a very basic level of functionality (deltas can be generated,
and applied offline). There is only some stubbed out pull code to
fetch them via HTTP.
But, better to commit this now and improve it from a known starting
point, rather than have it languish in a branch.
This large patch moves the core xattr logic down into libgsystem,
which allows the gs_shutil_cp_a() API to copy them. In turn, this
allows us to just use that API instead of rolling our own recursive
copy here.
As noted in the new comment though, one case that we are explicitly
regressing is where the new /etc removes a parent directory that's
needed by a modified file. This seems unlikely for most vendors now,
but let's do that as a separate bug.

I plan to rename all of these APIs to use the term 'loose', so that it
makes more sense after pack files are introduced. External users
should not use them; instead use _load_variant() or _read_commit().
For the cases where we can't hardlink, use at-relative walking of the
path where possible. We still don't have lsetxattrat, so we also need
to deal with pathnames, but that is now only for symlinks.
Again, the advantages of this are a lot less malloc() of pathnames in
ostree, and much less time spent traversing paths inside the kernel.

Nothing external uses it. We keep ostree_get_xattrs_for_file() public
because it's convenient for external consumers to get xattrs in
exactly the format we desire.

Clean up how we deal with the uncompressed object cache; we now use
openat()/linkat() and such just like we do for the main objects/.
Use linkat() between the objects and the destination, if possible.

It's now isolated almost entirely to ostree-core.c, except
ostree-repo.c needs to know how to create archive-z2 file headers. So
give it a private API for that.
We used to have a version of this, but since I'm trying to use
GBytes more, this became a more common operation, and it's annoying
to type out the whole G_VARIANT_TYPE ("ay") each time, and pass
TRUE for trusted.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706031
If we pass XATTR_REPLACE then the attribute must already exist, which
is not our intent. Passing zero creates the attribute if necessary,
or replaces it when it already exists.

While the first was useful way back in the day when we were importing
Debian bits and /sbin/init was expecting to find /dev/.initctl as a
named pipe, that's no longer an issue with systemd since it uses
dynamic Unix sockets.
Likewise, character and block devices in /dev are now dynamically
created by the devtmpfs from the kernel.
Less complexity and code here if we just support directories, regular
files, and symbolic links.
Previously we'd open(path, O_NOATIME) and do a series of small read()
calls to just parse the header. I think this will trigger kernel readahead
into the compressed portion, but we don't care about that.
This should be more efficient.
This is an incompatible change to archive-z, thus it is now renamed to
archive-z2 and ostree will no longer parse archive-z.
I noticed in perf that we were spending some time zlib-decompressing
file headers, which is just inefficient. Rather than do this, keep
the headers uncompressed, and just zlib-compress content.
This is where loose content objects are stored as one compressed file,
instead of the two separate ones for regular archive mode. This mode
would be suitable for HTTP servers, beause only one HTTP request is
necessary, and the result would be compressed.
They're not a large efficiency win at the moment, because we don't
do any delta compression.
At the moment, they simply served to compress data, but we will change
the archive mode to do that by default.
This helps make things less confusing when we try to create a file not
owned by our uid, such as running ostree-pull as non-root on a
repository owned by root.
