AppImage works by decompressing the "program" in a temporary directory.
So the executable path is not the path of the AppImage file.
By using the environment variables set by appimage we can find the correct
"path" of the executable.

Android need to handle the redirection by doing a redirection in the web
view, not by providing the content of the targeted article.
This is already what we do in kiwix-serve or ios.
The API should be far better by returning a Entry but for now,
we just change the given url if the article is a redirection.
The server will be running some code on the behalf of the calling code.
We really don't what to crash the library (and the binary) because
of a wrong request.
This code is mainly copied from kiwix-tools.
But :
- Move all the response thing in a new class Response.
- This Response class is responsible to handle all the MHD_response
configuration. This way the server handle a global object and do
no call to MHD_response*
- Server uses a lot more the templating system with mustache.
There are still few regex operations (because we need to
change a content already existing).
- By default, the server serves the content using the id as name.
- Server creates a new Searcher per request. This way, we don't have
to protect the search for multi-thread and we can do several search
in the same time.
- search results are not cached, this will allow future improvement in the
search algorithm.
- the home page is not cached.
- Few more verbose information (number of request served, time spend to
respond to a request).
TOOD:
- Readd interface selection.
- Do Android wrapper.
- Remove KiwixServer (who use a external process).
-
Instead of having a single method `listBooksIds` that tries to be
exhaustive about all the filter and sort option, split the method in
two separated methods `filter` and `sort`.
The `filter` method takes a `Filter` object that represent on what we are
filtering. This object has to be construct before calling `filter`.
```cpp
Filter filter;
filter.query("Astring");
filter.acceptTags({"nopic"});
// return all book in eng and with "Astring" in the tile or description".
library.filter(filter);
//equivalent to
library.listBooksIds(ALL, UNSORTED, "Astring", "", "", "", {"nopic"});
// or better
library.filter(Filter().query("Astring").acceptTags({"nopic"}));
```
The method `listBooksIds` has been marked as deprecated.
Add a small test on the library.
The `exit` function will call the functions registered.
Qt may (and does) register function and may (and does) hangup waiting
for some mutex to be free.
Here we are in a forked process and we want to process to exit without
doing any cleanup (because we are a clone of a process that will continue
and we don't want to mess it).
This functions enable to stop and resume download with aria2.
The Downloader's constructor now checks the paused downloads with the
function "tellWaiting()" to get them at the start of kiwix-desktop.
Mingw doesn't implement it. So, we should not use it.
I suppose that it was working before because mingw package for debian trusty
simply no provides a "thread" header.
We may face to include the native "thread" header.
Rpath is not needed to run installed binaries. Most of GNU/Linux
distributions strictly forbid it.

They are not used at all and the windows version need some extra libs
that complexify the code.
Remove them for now. If it happens that they are needed, we will readd
them.
We must use absolute path whenever possible.
Relative path has sense only related to the "interaction" with the user
(current directory, library location, ...).
The `common` name is from the time where kiwix was only one repository
for all the project (android, desktop, server...).
Now we have split the repositories and kiwix-lib is the "common" repo,
the "common" directory is somehow nonsense.
Mustache templating system is a bit simpler than ctpp2 and ctpp2 is no
more maintained (see #189).
We are moving to the kainjow's Mustache project
(https://github.com/kainjow/Mustache).
It simplify a lot our system has it is header only and we don't have to
precompile the template.
Fix#21
This feature is considered obsolete for a while.
In fact, it was already not supported since June 2018 as we were compiling
xapian without the chert backend support.
Assume that we don't support it and remove it from the code.
See kiwix/kiwix-tools#245
This is a API break. library.xml files will still work but the indexPath
and indexType will be dropped silently from the file.
The library now contains (simple) methods to handle bookmarks.
The bookmark are stored in a separate xml file.
Bookmark are mainly a couple (`zimId`, `articleUrl`).
However, in the xml we store a bit more data :
- The article's title (for display)
- The book's title, lang and date (for potential update of zim files)
By default, we are searching in the PATH env var.
However, with an appImage, the executable directory is not in the PATH,
so we have to use an absolute path if we can.
If we cannot find the aria2c executable in the executable directory let's
try to use the system one.
`reader.getFileSize()` return the size of the zim in Kbyte in a
`unsigned int` (32 bits). This is ok as it would overflow if the size
of the size is greater than 4294967295 kbytes (so ~4Tbytes).
However, we need to convert the return size into a unsigned 64 bits integer
else, when converting to bytes, we will overflow at 4Gbytes.
Even in `m_size` is a uint64_t.
When we do a search and paging the result, we need to display to the
user the total number of book, not only the `itemsPerPage`.
So, we need to parse correctly the xml to keep information of the total
number of book.
The value is store as a string in in the xml, so we cannot use getAsI.
We have to get the string and parse it to an int.
We cannot use strtoull because android stdc++ lib doesn't have it.
We have to implement our how parseFromString function using a
istringstream.
