Before this patch "_libssh2_error" required the error message to be a
static string.
This patch adds a new function "_libssh2_error_flags" accepting an
additional "flags" argument and specifically the flag
"LIBSSH2_ERR_FLAG_DUP" indicating that the passed string must be
duplicated into the heap.
Then, the method "_libssh2_error" has been rewritten to use that new
function under the hood.

I'll introduce a new internal function set named
_libssh2_store_u32
_libssh2_store_u64
_libssh2_store_str
That can be used all through the library to build binary outgoing
packets. Using these instead of the current approach removes
hundreds of lines from the library while at the same time greatly
enhances readability. I've not yet fully converted everything to
use these functions.
I've converted LOTS of 'unsigned long' to 'size_t' where
data/string lengths are dealt with internally. This is The Right
Thing and it will help us make the transition to our
size_t-polished API later on as well.
I'm removing the PACKET_* error codes. They were originally
introduced as a set of separate error codes from the transport
layer, but having its own set of errors turned out to be very
awkward and they were then converted into a set of #defines that
simply maps them to the global libssh2 error codes instead. Now,
I'l take the next logical step and simply replace the PACKET_*
defines with the actual LIBSSH2_ERROR_* defines. It will increase
readability and decrease confusion.
I also separated packet stuff into its own packet.h header file.
We reserve ^libssh2_ for public symbols and we use _libssh2 as
prefix for internal ones. I fixed the intendation of all these
edits with emacs afterwards, which then changed it slightly more
than just _libssh2_error() expressions but I didn't see any
obvious problems.
Each SFTP file handle is now handled by the "mother-struct"
using the generic linked list functions. The goal is to move
all custom linked list code to use this set of functions.
I also moved the list declarations to the misc.h where they
belong and made misc.h no longer include libssh2_priv.h itself
since now libssh2_priv.h needs misc.h...
In misc.c I added a #if 0'ed _libssh2_list_insert() function
because I ended up writing one, and I believe we may need it here
too once we move over more stuff to use the _libssh2_list* family.
