This fixes the cases where a pkg installation or update
could break its revdeps due to not satisfying dependencies.
When performing an install or update, xbps now always checks if
there are updates for its revdeps and get added to the transaction.
See the two new test cases for more information.
The previous idea was to use virtual packages in the users configuration
to satisfy dependencies by mapping them to existing installed packages.
Using virtual packages for it doesn't work as expected and trying to make
it work would break other functionalities of virtual packages, like the
version satisfaction checks for `provides` and the ability to replace
virtual packages with real packages. The virtual package functionality
should be used exclusively for virtual packages.
This allows users to specify packages packages that should be ignored.
Ignored packages in dependencies are always satisfied without installing
the package, while updating or installing a package that depends on an
ignored package.
This does NOT ignore the shlib checks, ignoring a package that provides
required shared libraries will abort the transaction as if there was no
package that provides the required shared library.
faster: use a hash table with pkg names on the transaction dict,
the process of collecting and sorting is now 50x faster or
even more (kde5).
bugs: this now detects cyclic deps and returns with an appropropiate
return value: ELOOP and ENOENT in xbps-query(1) --fulldeptree.

This commit adds relative link support to lib/package_alternatives.c.
Instead of creating absolute links, xbps will create relative links
to the target. This allows to follow links on systems even if the
aren't mounted on /.
The debug printing is also moved after variable substitution.
Now it prints:
foo/template: _var foo
foo/template: pkgname foo
It used to print:
foo/template: _var foo
foo/template: pkgname ${_var}
