SPDX License List is a list of (common) open source
licenses that can be referred to by a “short identifier”.
It has several advantages compared to the common "license header texts"
usually found in source files.
Some of the advantages:
* It is precise; there is no ambiguity due to variations in license header
text
* It is language neutral
* It is easy to machine process
* It is concise
* It is simple and can be used without much cost in interpreted
environments like java Script, etc.
* An SPDX license identifier is immutable.
* It provides simple guidance for developers who want to make sure the
license for their code is respected

Closes: #1439

This simplifies a lot of code; the header function was structured
to write to an input stream, but many callers only wanted the checksum,
so it's simpler (and error-free) to simply allocate a whole buffer
and checksum that.
For the callers that want to write it, it's also still simpler to allocate the
buffer and write the whole thing rather than having this function do the
writing.
A lot of the complexity here again is a legacy of the packfile code, which is
dead.
This is prep for faster regfile commits where we can avoid `G{In,Out}putStream`.

The faster (OpenSSL/GnuTLS) code lived in a `GInputStream` wrapper, and that
adds a lot of weight (GObject + vtable calls). Move it into a simple
autoptr-struct wrapper, and use it in the metadata path, so we're
now using the faster checksums there too.
This also drops a malloc there as the new API does hexdigest in place to a
buffer.
Prep for more work in the commit path to avoid `GInputStream` for local file
commits, and ["adopting" files](https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/1255).

We added a `.dir-locals.el` in commit: 9a77017d87
There's no need to have it per-file, with that people might think
to add other editors, which is the wrong direction.

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.

This can be used as a fingerprint to determine whether two
OstreeSePolicy objects are equivalent.
Also add documentation for ostree_sepolicy_get_name().
Closes: #219

For Fedora and potentially other distributions which use globally
distributed mirrors, metalink is a popular solution to redirect
clients to a dynamic set of mirrors.
In order to make metalink work though, it needs *one* file which can
be checksummed. (Well, potentially we could explode all refs into the
metalink.xml, but that would be a lot more invasive, and a bit weird
as we'd end up checksumming the checksum file).
This commit adds a new command:
$ ostree summary -u
To regenerate the summary file. Can only be run by one process at a
time.
After that's done, the metalink can be generated based on it, and the
client fetch code will parse and load it.

Don't expose GChecksum in APIs. Add a new stream class which allows
us to pass an input stream somewhere, but gather a checksum as it's
read.
Move some bits of the internals towards binary csums.
