This implements a new configuration option 'CacheServer'. Adding a cache
server makes it ignore the server error limit.

We have a struct that stores the server errors. Extend (and rename) this
struct to store if this is a cache server. The errors are not increased
for cache servers, thus they are never ignored.

I think storing the cache server state together with the server errors is the
only reasonable solution. Extending 'alpm_list_t *servers' would not help a
lot as download functions do not have a reference to its server in that list
if I got this right.

One thing is still missing, though. I think Allen wanted the cache server not
to be used for database files. In lib/libalpm/dload.c the code iterated over
payload->servers, but only indication there about a database file is its file
name (payload->filepath)?

Except for the limitation above (which is not an issue for me :) this seems
to works really well. Please test, review and comment...

 During parsing, pacman will define the `$repo` variable to the name of the
 current section. This is often utilized in files specified using the 'Include'
