Move DB and cache dirs away from there dependence on ROOTDIR
This change allows us to use all autoconf specified paths, most notably
$(localstatedir). It is quite a change and touches a lot of files, as
all references to the DB and cache were done with the ROOTDIR as a prefix.
* add --lock command-line option to pacman to specify the location of the
lockfile (this can now be specified at configure time by setting the
$localstatedir path).
* Rip quite a few settings out of configure.ac as they are now picked by
setting the paths during configure or make.
* Fix bug with /tmp fallback for sync downloads not working correctly
(related to root location, now the system tmp dir is used).
* Simplified the parameters to some libalpm functions, and added get/set
for the new lockfile option.
* Renamed several of the DEFS to names without the PM_ prefix.
