The worker expects that the methods tell him when they start or finish
downloading a file. Various information pieces are passed along in this report
including the (expected) filesize. https is using a "global" struct for
reporting which made it 'reuse' incorrect values in some cases like a
non-existent InRelease fallbacking to Release{,.gpg} resulting in an incorrect
size-mismatch warning scaring and desensitizing users as well as being subject
to a race between the write_data and progress callbacks generating incorrect
progress reporting and potentially the same error message.
Other branches as well as the bugreports contain 'better' fixes making the
struct local and other sensible changes, but are larger as a result, so in
this version we opted for short diff with minimal effect above else instead.

Thanks: Robert Edmonds and Anders Kaseorg for initial patchs
Add a explicit ReceivedData to HttpsMethod that indicates when
we got data from the connection so that we can send URISTart()
to the parent.
This is needed because URIStart got moved in f9b4f12d from
the progress_callback to write_data() and it only checks for
Res.Size. In the old code if progress_callback is called by
libcurl (and sets Res.Size) before write_data is called then
URIStart() is never send. Making this a explicit ReceivedData
variable fixes this issue.
Real webservers (like apache) actually send an error page with a 416
response, but our client didn't expect it leaving the page on the socket
to be parsed as response for the next request (http) or as file content
(https), which isn't what we want at all… Symptom is a "Bad header line"
as html usually doesn't parse that well to an http-header.
This manifests itself e.g. if we have a complete file (or larger) in
partial/ which isn't discarded by If-Range as the server doesn't support
it (or it is just newer, think: mirror rotation).
It is a sort-of regression of 78c72d0ce2,
which removed the filesize - 1 trick, but this had its own problems…
To properly test this our webserver gains the ability to reply with
transfer-encoding: chunked as most real webservers will use it to send
the dynamically generated error pages.
(The tests and their binary helpers had to be slightly modified to
apply, but the patch to fix the issue itself is unchanged.)

When doing Acquire::http{,s}::Proxy-Auto-Detect, run the auto-detect
command for each host instead of only once. This should make using
"proxy" from libproxy-tools feasible which can then be used for PAC
style or other proxy configurations.

Beside being a bit cleaner it hopefully also resolves oddball problems
I have with high levels of parallel jobs.

cppcheck complains about the obsolete utime as it was removed in
POSIX1.2008 and recommends usage of utimensat/futimens instead
as those are in POSIX and so commit 9ce3cfc9 switched to them.
It is just that they aren't as portable as the standard suggests:
At least our kFreeBSD and Hurd ports stumble over it at runtime.
So to make both, the ports and cppcheck happy, we use utimes instead.
Closes: 738567
Servers might respond with a complete file either because they don't
support Ranges at all or the If-Range condition isn't statisfied, so we
have to parse the headers curl gets ourself to seek or truncate the file
we have so far.
This also finially adds the testcase testing a bunch of partial
situations for both, http and https - which is now all green.

LP: 1157943
As lengthy discussed in lp:1157943 partial https support was utterly
broken as a 206 response was handled as an (unhandled) error. This is
the first part of fixing it by supporting a 206 response and starting to
deal with 416.
- if a file without an extension is requested send an 'Accept: text/*'
header to avoid that the server chooses unsupported compressed files
in a content-negotation attempt (Closes: #657560)
- use curls list append instead of appending Range and If-Range by hand
which generates malformed requests, thanks Mel Collins for the hint!
