libdpkg: Merge nicknames table into fieldinfos
The current code first does a lookup to see if the fieldname is in the
nicknames table, if found fixes up the fieldname to the new alias, and
then always does a lookup for the normalized name in fieldinfos table.
This penalizes the common case (i.e. non-obsolete fieldnames)
substantially. Also moving the nicknames into the fieldinfos table will
allow to print correct fieldnames on error as those are not mangled any
more, and to provide new wrapper parse functions that print warnings for
the obsolete fieldnames.
