Fix several Package Menu and Finder bugs. * finder.el: Load finder-inf using `require'. (finder-list-matches): Sorting by status is now the default. (finder-compile-keywords): Simpify printing. * emacs-lisp/package.el (package--read-archive-file): Just use `read', to avoid copying an additional string. (package-menu-mode): Set header-line-format here. (package-menu-refresh, package-menu-revert): Signal an error if not in the Package Menu. (package-menu-package-list): New var. (package--generate-package-list): Operate on the current buffer; don't assume that it is *Packages*, since the user may rename it. Allow persistent package listings and sort keys using package-menu-package-list and package-menu-package-sort-key. (package-menu--version-predicate): Fix version calculation. (package-menu-sort-by-column): Don't select the window. (package--list-packages): Create the *Packages* buffer. Set package-menu-package-list-key. (list-packages): Sorting by status is now the default. (package-buffer-info): Use match-string-no-properties. (define-package): Add a &rest argument for future proofing, but don't use it yet. (package-install-from-buffer, package-install-buffer-internal): Merged into a single function, package-install-from-buffer. (package-install-file): Caller changed. Also, fix headers for hfy-cmap.el and ps-print.el.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
