Add UpgradeSigLevel configuration option
 

Use to override the global SigLevel value for upgrade operations.

e.g. when installing a package without a signature:

Fails to install:
SigLevel = Optional
UpgradeSigLevel = Required

Fails to install:
SigLevel = Required

Installs:
SigLevel = Required
UpgradeSigLevel = Optional

Installs:
SigLevel = Optional

The main issue I see here is that UpgradeSigLevel must come after the global
SigLevel value. Otherwise the only way I see to use the value of SigLevel as
a default for UpgradeSigLevel requires much code duplication.

I'll repeat some things that I said in the bug report - I have no idea
if this is feasible and should be done now:

I would love to distinguish between -U <local file> and -U <URL>. The
rationale is that I want automatically the highest security when I
download something (meaning: 'Required' for -U <URL>) but more
convenience when installing a local package that I build from AUR and
thus never signed (meaning: 'Optional' for -U <local file>).

If you think this is too hard for now, I think that this patch is better
than nothing.

Apart from that, I find the name UpgradeSigLevel confusing: People might
think it refers to upgrades in general, as opposed to the pacman
'upgrade' operation.

just some thoughts..
if you built a package yourself, you can also just sign it and verify the signature when installing.
though this is a bit more computationally intensive...

also, what if somebody sends you a package by mail or through some other medium than http?
then it will also be the '-U <local file>' case but very different from the other '-U <local file>' case where you built yourself.

So, any further comments on this before I take a stab at improving
things further. So far the comments were:

1) distinguish between "pacman -U <url>" and "pacman -U <file>"
2) change name of option as "Upgrade" is confusing

What about using:
LocalFileSigLevel
RemoteFileSigLevel

Is RemoteFile too confusing with packages from repos?

Yes. Even in this context I wondered for a moment if that applies to -S
as well, but then I guess you will keep SigLevel for that.

UpgradeSigLevel is also confusing because that should/could/might apply
to -Su, but not -S. This (wrong idea) would even make sense right now
because not all old packages are signed, but all new ones are.

Might be. LocalUrlSigLevel and RemoteUrlSigLevel maybe? Some other word
that indicates that we use -U?

Personally, if we don't come up with anything better, I am okay with
{Local,Remote}FileSigLevel - just add a nice comment in the pacman.conf
template.
