Currently, jw-pkg install is sometimes left to the high-level package
manager, which is allowed to install dependencies along, and that's
sometimes unwanted, but there's no backend in the low-level package manager
module lib.pm to allow specifying that. This commit adds it:
lib.pm.*.install_packages().
The functions install a list of local package files using the low-level
package managers rpm / dpkg, bypassing the high-level package managers yum
/ apt / zypper.
pm.rpm runs rpm -U and pm.dpkg runs dpkg -i. Every file is classified
against the installed state of its package, queried by name: a file
for a package that is not installed is installed fresh, a file with
another version installed is upgraded, and a file whose version is already
installed is reinstalled when force is set and skipped otherwise. On rpm,
plain -U refuses a package that is already installed, and --reinstall
aborts the transaction when a file of the incoming package differs from
the installed one, so the upgrades run before the reinstalls and the
same-version files need force.
With only_update, a file for a package that is not installed raises before
anything is installed.
The dpkg route is gated on an apt simulation, because dpkg -i leaves a
half-configured package when a dependency is missing: the simulation runs
first and the install is refused when it would install or remove anything
but the given files' own packages.
