Given the previous commit, which isolates SoupSession in a separate
thread, it should be safe to start pushing a temporary main context
for synchronous requests again.
This partially reverts 84fe2ff, which partially reverted 9f3d586.

xdg-app was hanging for me with v2015.8, but worked with v2015.7.
I narrowed things down to the GMainLoop/context commit, in which
we started pushing a temporary main context for synchronous
requests internally.
That's never really going to work with libsoup - there needs
to be a single main context which works on the socket. Furthermore,
clients couldn't get progress messages that way.
For *other* internal uses where we added APIs that talk to the remote
repo, we cleanly push a temporary main context.
(Note that I kind of snuck in a change here around the GError handling
in pulls that isn't strictly related but came up in testing)
First of all, what we were doing with having GMainLoop in the internal
APIs is wrong. Synchronous APIs should always create their own main
context and not iterate the caller's. Doing the latter creates
potential for evil reentrancy issues. Sync API should block, async
API is for not blocking.
Now that's out of the way, fix the pull code to do the clean
```
while (termination_condition (state))
g_main_context_iteration (mainctx, TRUE);
```
model for looping. This is a lot easier to understand and ultimately
more reliable than having other code call `g_main_loop_quit()`, as the
loop condition is in exactly one place.
We can also remove the idle source which only fired once.
Note we have to add a hack here to discard the synchronous session and
create a new one which we only use async.

This may not be the best idea for general usage, but the only use case
for metalinks currently is fetching a summary file and those are pretty
small. Far more convenient to return the file content in a GBytes.
The state machine's "passthrough_previous" field never got set, so the
machine gets put back into the wrong state after a passthrough phase.
Couple other minor issues around error handling.
This is a noticeable cleanup, and fixes another big user of GFile* in
performance/security sensitive codepaths.
I'm specifically making this change because the static deltas code was
leaking temporary files, and cleaning that up nicely would be best if
we were fd relative.
Rename _ostree_fetcher_contents_membuf_sync to
ostree_fetcher_request_uri_to_membuf and drop unused argument
user_data.

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.
