This reverts most of 0dcbd933 which allowed automatic selection
of package with a "virtual provides" having only one provider.
While convenient, it creates problems if multiple versions of the
same package exist, or if in future other providers would be added
to one of the repositories. This restore the original behaviour,
and improve the error message to tell the user to mention one of
the providers explicitly.
fixes#10810
The original intent was to choose packages to which there is most
dependencies. However, since the code has evolved this is has been
mostly obsolete. And in fact now interferes with the provides and
provides priority mechanism. Remove this as obsolete.
Fixes#10742
While commit 18b0b45 (io: Handle long lines, Thu Jan 7 17:25:23 2021
+0100) did attempt to address this issue, the buffer really is still to
small when dealing with big-big dependency lists.
Lets make it sufficiently large for now, until the new APKINDEX format
can support multi-line dependencies, making this not needed any more.
[TT: Originally the buffer size was conservative to run on resource
constrained embedded platforms. But since the available memory on those
has also increased much, the adjustment to 128kB makes sense also to
increase performance a little bit. Removing also the iolimit test.]

Regression introduced by 0fb0d30 which makes parsing a description
a critical failure.
[TT: Minor stylistic change. Fix also missing final line change
from the earlier commit]
Add also some testing to make sure help, long help and handling
of invalid arguments works as expected.
Based on pull request #19 originally by Laurent Arnoud (@spk).
In discovery phase, there was logic to not process packages
multiple times. However, that logic failed to account the package's
depth and install_if state for the name being processed. This
caused install_if processing failure in certain topologies of the
dependency graph. Adds also a test case that should catch this
issue reliably.
By introducing a new package metadata field, `provider_priority`
(index letter `k`), we can specify default packages to satisfy a
virtual.
If a user wishes to select an alternative provider for the virtual,
a changeset swapping the default provider for the selected provider
will be generated by the dependency resolver.
this makes 'lbu diff' and aaudit diffs nice when a world
dependency is added or removed. sorting also makes the ordering
more deterministic as the world targets constraints are always
applied in the same order. test suite updated accordingly.
This makes sure any conflicted packages will be removed first.
Useful if we know there are conflicting files, and want to avoid
adding potentially harmful replaces line. Add a test case for
this too.
