move to use v5.36;
tested by me over the last few weeks, and tb@
also fixed a "manual install" bug properly reported by tb@

aside that there should be *no functional change*.
If you see any message like "hey, the number of params is wrong"
it is a fringe case I didn't run into and should be easy to fix.

stop using old-style prototypes except where strictly necessary
(for try/catch)

signatures will be much more powerful once I move to 5.36

simplify code based on afresh1@'s remark: indeed I always need to
have a state once I'm past the initial locking

make db locking self-contained

match opendir with closedir... not that important as the thing was most
probably GC'd.

a bit of spring cleanup in advance: scrape old stuff that's not really
used.

bump copyright to 2014

scrape support for old +COMMENT file.
8 years of backward compatibility is long enough... :)

recognize special file +META

zap old INSTALL/DEINSTALL stuff, it's been deprecated for 3 years, and removed
from pkg_create for over a year.

tweak

new pkg_delete, very similar to pkg_add, support for -a

more stuff that uses print directly dies

handle failures from ports tree with more care.
this does avoid infinite loops in case of wrong plists.
necessary since print-plist-with-depends CAN fail...

initial scaffolding for @rcscript: for now, acts like normal files,
but allow absolute pathnames (treat that as an implicit @cwd).

allow say and errsay to work without parameters, as it's ways common.
create verbose_system up in state, because it makes sense without verbose.

whitespace cleanup

simple use of new state->repo API

ui changes: go thru a state object for most printouts

move code around, so that commands can be used as modules.
pkg becomes the start hub, which does nothing except require the
correct module.
Saner code wrt Add/Delete, and more sharing.

whitespace fixes

make these independent from Getopt, require Exporter

progressmeter puts STDOUT in autoflush if -t, so that it can display to it instead of piping a lot of stuff to STDERR.

Go through state->print for most messages, so they will NOT do weird things

with the progressmeter.
Use a ->say shortcut which does the same thing that perl 5.10 say does...

state->progress->print => $state->print

bad espie: use strict/warnings consistently, and fix two nits and two
actual errors !
