* Frontend locking and related locking improvements (LP: #1795407)
- apt.Cache: Keep / Re-establish the system lock in commit()
- apt.Cache: Keep archive locked during commit()/ in fetch_archives()
- apt.Cache: Reinstate locks in a finally / run dpkg inside try
- Introduce frontend locking
- Convert apt.Cache.commit and apt_pkg.DepCache.commit to FE lock
* Other changes to make that work:
- Cherry-pick apt_pkg.Error type hint from 1.7
- travis CI: bionic only; stretch does not have FE locking nor PPA
* As always, updated mirror lists
