Handle shemeless, hostless URLs correctly.

Add rudimentary support for an authentication callback function.

Apply 'const' liberally.

Fix some other minor glitches.

Avoid a segfault (due to an unitialized pointer) when parsing URLs that have
no scheme or host part.

Clean up the whitespace encoding code.

Use CHECK_FLAG

If the scheme is HTTP or HTTPS, percent-escape whitespace in the document
part.

Relax URL syntax so that schemeless URLs are supported.

The decision to use an HTTP proxy for FTP documents belongs in the FTP code

Introduce fetchXGet*(), which combine the functionalities of fetchGet*() and
fetchStat*(). In most cases, either fetchGet*() or fetchXGet*() is a wrapper
around the other; in all cases, calling fetchGet*() is identical to calling
fetchXGet*() with the second argument set to NULL.

Introduce the (undocumented) variable fetchRestartCalls, which controls whether
or not interrupted system calls will be restarted. This fixes a bug where
fetch(1) would hang (potentially forever) if a server stopped responding,
because the signal handler would absorb the user's efforts to interrupt the
transfer.

Second of a series of cleanups to libfetch.

This commit introduces the following features:

a) the fetchStat*() functions, which return meta-information for a
document, such as size, modification time, etc.

b) the use of the com_err(3) facilities to report errors.

It also fixes a bunch of style bugs and a few logic bugs and somewhat
improves the man page.

Changed files, in alphabetical order:

Makefile:
Don't generate macros in {ftp,http}err.c.

Generate category fields for the error message lists.

Compile the error table.

Install fetch_err.h along with fetch.h.

common.c:
Remove the _netdb_errstring() macro, and add FETCH_ERR_NETDB to the
error code in the _netdb_seterr() macro.

Add categories to the _netdb_errlist table.

Report errors through the Common Error library.

common.h:
Add the DEBUG macros.

Add prototype for fetchConnect().

Remove the prototype for _fetch_errstring(), which is local to common.c

Add a categroy field to struct fetcherr, and define constants for
error categories.

Define macros for _{url,netdb,ftp,http}_seterr().

errors.et: (new file)
List error categories.

fetch.3:
Document the fetchStat*() functions.

Move the "unimplemented functionality" comments from NOTES to BUGS.

Document that applications which use libfetch must also use
libcom_err, and list existing error codes.

Undocument fetchLastErr{Code,String}.

Remove the (empty) DIAGNOSTICS section.

Mention Eugene Skepner in the AUTHORS section.

fetch.c:
Move the DEBUG macros to common.c

Add fetchStat() and fetchStatURL().

Generate error messages for URL parser errors, and fix a minor bug
in the parser.

Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'.

Remove fetchLastErr{Code,String}.

fetch.h:
Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t', and remove the typedef.

Define struct url_stat (used by fetchStat()).

Add prototypes for fetchStat*().

Remove the declarations for fetchLastErr{Code,String}.

Include fetch_err.h.

fetch_err.et: (new file)
Error table for libfetch.

file.c:
Add fetchStatFile().

Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'.

ftp.c:
Add fetchStatFTP().

Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'.

Don't use fetchLastErrCode.

ftp.errors:
Add categories to all error messages.

http.c:
Add fetchStatHTTP().

Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'.

Don't use fetchLastErr{Code,Text}.

http.errors:
Add categories to all error messages.
