If a static delta is generated between 2 commits with the same content,
then the delta will contain 1 part with no checksums. While useless,
this is a valid delta that shouldn't raise an assertion. If the delta
part has no checksums, then there are no objects to recreate and the
processing can be skipped.

I often want to have "idempotent" systems that iterate to a known
state. If after generating a commit, the system is interrupted, I'd
like the next run to still generate a delta. But we don't want to
regenerate if one exists, hence this option.

Import `gs_file_enumerator_iterate()` for the next six months or
so...after RHEL 7.3 is released I'm strongly considering hard
requiring 2.46 or so.
Likely at some point we should figure out how to share more "glib
backport" code with NetworkManager at least.

We have a lot of "allow_noent" type wrapper functions since
a common pattern is to allow files to not exist, but still
throw cleanly on other issues.
This is another instance of that, and cleans up duplicated error
handling code.
Part of this is prep for moving away from `GFile` consumers.

This is similar to changes Krzesimir has been doing recently - we
really don't need the ergonomics of floating refs since we have
autocleanups.
We should continue to change most of our code to sink refs.
Specifically here it was pretty broken that the `_map()` API was
sinking but the other two weren't, and this broke some refactoring I
was trying to do later.

I see when analyzing a delta here that due to byteswapping a negative
compression ratio of 540%, 66%, and 28%. Let's arbitrarily pick 20%
as a threshold for detecting byetswapping.
If the average object size is greater than 4GiB, let's assume we're
dealing with opposite endianness. I'm fairly confident no one is
going to be shipping peta- or exa- byte size ostree deltas, period.
Past the gigabyte scale you really want bittorrent or something.
xdg-app passed this a filename directly, and in this case it should be
used as is. This regressed to always look for "superblock" in the same
directory as the passed in filename.

Now we display stats on the individual parts, such as the blob size
and the number of each type of opcode. Most interesting to me is
things like how many bsdiff opcodes there are vs new objects, etc.
We had code to deal with opening/checksumming/decompressing static
deltas in a few places. I'd like to teach `ostree static-delta show`
how to display more information, and this will allow it to just use
`_ostree_static_delta_part_open()` too.
Right now though, almost all of the details of deltas are private, so
we can't do the "honest thing" and have the command line just use the
shared library.
Eventually some of this should appear in the API, but for now add
command line which is useful for debugging.
This is very useful for the inline-parts case, as you can then include
detached signatures in a single file representing the commit.
It is not as important for the generic pull case, as the detached
metadata is only a single small file. Additionally the detached
metadata is not content referenced and may change after the static
delta file was created, so we need to pull the latest version anyway.
If you pass a diriectory it will look for the "superblock" child, otherwise
it will use the file as the superblock. I need this in xdg-app to be able
to install any filename as a bundle.
In this mode the parts are stored in the metadata of the main delta
superblock file. This can be useful if you want a single-file delta
for easy transport, or for http in the case the delta is very small.
The current layout uses a prefix of two bytes as the initial dir
and a second directory inside that with the superblock. This
updates the list code to handle that.

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.
