xbps-{install,query}: added -M --memory-sync option.

Browse Source 
This explicitly enables the in memory fetch/store of remote repository
data archives mode, ignoring existing on-disk repodata archives.

This changes the previous behaviour of falling back to this mode if no
on-disk repodata archives were found.

Thanks to @Gottox and @dominikh for comments.

user without the need to be the `superuser` to synchronize the repository
archives. Of course this new operation mode requires a proper network
connection.

This also means that `xbps-query(8)` may be used by any user without the
need to be the `superuser` to synchronize the repository archives.
* xbps-{install,query}: added new option (-i, --ignore-conf-repos) to ignore
repositories defined in configuration files (xbps.d). Only repos specified
