* Change the return values to be more informative.
It was previously boolean, only indicating if a sync package was newer than
a local package.
Now it is a simple wrapper to vercmp, handling the force flag.
* Remove the verbose output from _alpm_pkg_compare_versions.
The "force" message is not so useful.
The "package : local (v1) is newer than repo (v2)" message can be moved to
-Su operation.
For the -S operation, it is better to have something like :
"downgrading package from v1 to v2"
* Don't display the "up to date -- skipping" and "up to date -- reinstalling"
messages, when the local version is newer than the sync one.
* Fix the behavior of --needed option to not skip a target when the local
version is newer, and clarify its description.
* Add a new alpm_pkg_has_force function
This allows us to access the pkg->force field like any other package fields.

This vercmp issue has been a sticking point but this should resolve many of
the issues that have come up. Only a few minor code changes were necessary
to get the behavior we desired, and this version appears to beat any other
vercmp rendition on a few more cases added in this commit.
This commit passes all 58 vercmp tests currently out there. Other 'fixes'
still fail on a few tests, namely these ones:
test: ver1: 1.5.a ver2: 1.5 ret: -1 expected: 1
==> FAILURE
test: ver1: 1.5 ver2: 1.5.a ret: 1 expected: -1
==> FAILURE
test: ver1: 1.5-1 ver2: 1.5.b ret: 1 expected: -1
==> FAILURE
test: ver1: 1.5.b ver2: 1.5-1 ret: -1 expected: 1
==> FAILURE
4 of 58 tests failed

Now '-S provision' handling is done in the back-end.
In case of multiple providers, the first one is selected (behavior change:
deleted provision002.py). The old processing order was: literal, group,
provision; the new one: literal, provision, group. This is more rational,
but "pacman -S group" will be slower now. "pacman -S repo/provision" also
works. Provision was generalized to dependencies, so you can resolve deps by
hand: "pacman -S 'bash>2.0'" or "pacman -S 'core/bash>2.0'" etc. This can be
useful in makepkg dependency resolving. The changes were documented in
pacman manual.
alpm_find_pkg_satisfiers and _alpm_find_dep_satisfiers functions were
removed, since they are no longer needed.
I added some verbosity to "select provider instead of literal" and
"fallback to group".

As it was already mentioned several times, the new -Sc behavior in 3.1 is
great, but only when the package cache is not shared.
This option has two possible values : KeepInstalled and KeepCurrent
With KeepCurrent, -Sc will clean packages that are no longer available in
any sync db, rather than packages that are no longer in the local db. The
resulting behavior should be better for shared cache.

With --unneeded option 'pacman -R' doesn't stop in case of dependency error;
it removes the needed-dependency targets from the target-list instead. See
also: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-October/009653.html .
The patch also adds a new causingpkg field to pmdepmissing_t which indicates
the to-be-removed package which would cause a dependency break. This is
needed, because miss->depend.name may be a provision. miss->causingpkg will
be useful in -R dependency error messages too.
[Xavier: renamed inducer to causingpkg, removed the _alpm_pkgname_pkg_cmp
helper function as requested by Aaron. This might be added by a further
commit. Other small cleanups, updated manpage and bash completion.]

This is the symmetric of --asdeps, install packages explicitly.
Documentation and completion files were updated accordingly.
Added sync301.py and upgrade032.py pactest files to test this.
I also made a little modification in ALLDEPS handling too.

It turns out the orphan name was misleading. Real orphans are packages
installed as dependency no longer required by any others (-Qtd).
The -t option only shows package not required by any others, so --unrequired
describes it better.

Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock
Asciidoc configuration:

# Inline macros.

# (?s) re flag for line spanning.
-(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])=

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case manlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

During a pacman operation such as a group install, pacman can ask several
questions such as "local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway?". They are
usually all answered either by yes or by no:
* yes when you want to reinstall all the targets.
* no when you only want to install the missing ones (either because you are
installing a group, or because you are copying a pacman -S line from wiki or
whatever).
So instead of asking this question for each target, it is now now configured
with a flag. Yes will be the default -S behavior, No will be achieved with
the --needed flag.
