[pacman-dev] [PATCH 1/1] libalpm: fix resuming after HTTP error

`curl_retry_next_server` tries to resume a download whenever possible
(introduced in 8bf17b2) even if its preceding HTTP request returns an
error (with status code >= 400, e.g. 404 when a mirror is only partially
synced).

It may result in a corrupted package if the preceding HTTP response with
error carries a non-empty body, which is then written to a tempfile as
if it is part of the package binary.

By activating `CURLOPT_FAILONERROR`, the tempfile won't be written
unless the HTTP response indicates a successful status.
