[pacman-dev] [PATCH] pacsort: only look at versions in file mode

alpm_pkg_vercmp rightfully considers foo-1-1 to be newer than foo-1:1-1
because of the leading characters. So, in file mode, pacsort must
necessarily ignore the package name when performing comparisons. Create
a struct, for convenience, which overlays pointers and lengths to the
name and version within a filename. Using this, we can avoid some
amount of heap allocation, and do better at comparing versions for
similar package names.

Since I forgot about this, and now it's now been declared release blocking,
here's the easy solution (with a TODO for the rest).
