libalpm/dload: add allow_resume and reorder error checks
The allow_resume is the start of the fix to the "don't ever resume database downloads" problem, as well as being useful for '.sig' downloads as well. For now, we say "always allow resume", but this will eventually get pushed down as necessary. Error checks are reworked in order to correctly error out when a file is not found on the remote end and reports 0 bytes downloaded. In addition, the two error messages printed are now different as one reports a more specific error message provided via the cURL error buffer. Some example output from an -Sy run with [testing], [community], [community2], [eee], and [nonexistant] defined as repos. [community2] and [nonexistant] are both invalid, one using FTP and one using HTTP. :: Synchronizing package databases... testing is up to date community is up to date error: failed retrieving file 'community2.db' from ftp.archlinux.org : Given file does not exist error: failed to update community2 (FTP: couldn't retrieve (RETR failed) the specified file) eee is up to date error: failed retrieving file 'nonexistant.db' from code.toofishes.net : The requested URL returned error: 404 error: failed to update nonexistant (HTTP response code said error) Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
