alpm/dep: add alpm_find_dbs_satisfier

This is a public interface for resolvedep. It looks nicer to expose it
this way rather than through sync_target.

This function can also be helpful for external tools as it should give
good results close to how pacman select a package for satisfying a given
dep.
