libdpkg: Fix passing the allocated instdir back into fsys_set_dir()

The code was free()ing the previously allocated string too early, then
trying to strdup() it. Instead use an intermediate to free() the old
pointer before overwriting it with the new one.

Fixes: commit f13aebc8a05da51a54da55d55b023ca8199a6471
Changelog: silent

dpkg: When removing old files check the pathname with diversion and instdir

The test should be using the prefixed instdir and any diversions applied
as any other code path doing these filesystem checks, otherwise we try
to access incorrect pathnames.

build: Include only commits from the first merge parent in gen-changelog

The merge commit description should be good to describe all the changes.
If this end up not being a good solution, we can always make it an
option.

s-s-d: Assign fallback output_io after checking for command-line combinations

The --output option is relevant only with --background, so we should not
assign to its value before checking the combination.

s-s-d: Add a new --output option to redirect stderr and stdout

This option makes it easier to handle daemons that need to be
backgrounded and that do not have any built-in support for syslog
or log file writing.

s-s-d: Move umask setup before any file has been created

This makes it possibly to control the permissions of files with the
umask, instead of having to use hardcoded defaults.
