<content type='text'>
The previous use of decision here conflicted with the use
of decision level and the general notion of having made a
decision, because the assignment might have been propagated
as a matter of fact.

Introduce a new function, LongWhyStr() that returns a longer
reason for why something is being installed (or not).

This does the same path walk as the other function does, but
it renders the clauses at each level, and one per line, so
the whole output is a lot more informative.

It is a separate function to keep the existing debug messages
use the simple single line implication graph

We remove the other special case in AddWork() for empty solutions
to mke use of the general case in Solve() instead, and then adapt
the case in Solve() to the same case as in Enqueue(). This also
happens to fix the bug that when we encountered an empty clause
we just printed the clause had no solution, but not how we got
to install the package with the clause.

Adapt the test suite for the changes which is an annoying amount
of paperwork.

<title>solver3: Extract TranslateOrGroup() out of EnqueueOrGroup()</title>

This is not *purely* a refactoring, we accidentally used the
version of the dependency when enqueuing conflicts rather than
the reason, so the conflict string in the test case is different;
the logging had the same issue.

<title>solver3: Use a propagation queue</title>

Instead of directly propagating in a recursive fashion,
queue propagations in a queue and work on them in a loop
per the miniSAT paper.

We call Propagate() only at the end of the FromDepCache()
function and then in the Solve loop. Delaying the initial
propagation means that we get a stronger reasoning:

Assume you have x-&gt;a-&gt;b-&gt;c, y-&gt;c and you install x,y:
- Previously we traversed: x, y, x-&gt;a, a-&gt;b, b-&gt;c, (y-&gt;c)
- but now we traverse:     x, y, x-&gt;a, y-&gt;c, a-&gt;b, (b-&gt;c)
Notably c now has the implication y-&gt;c instead of x-&gt;a-&gt;b-&gt;c.

Inside the solver we need to call Propagate in a loop:
Propagating facts can fail and we then backtrack. If backtracking
is succesful, we have gained a new fact to propagate.

<title>test: Support the 3.0 solver in most existing test cases</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b5997949909ee9d5e9981c8311aea97c7b2620fd</id>
<content type='text'>
Highlights:

- test-bug-618848-always-respect-user-requests: (Do not) Support 3.0 solver

  A manually installed package is never removed just because we request
  the removal of its dependency in solver3.

- test-bug-657695-resolver-breaks-on-virtuals: Support 3.0 solver

  For manually installed packages, solver 3.0 would require some
  new xserver-xorg-video-driver to Conflict+Replace+Provides the
  old one (once the logic is implemented), but that does seem
  reasonable.

- test-bug-720597-build-dep-purge: Support 3.0 solver

  This needs a simple aptmark auto because pkga is removed by the
  build-dep. But further adjustments are necessary because it weirdly
  tested for no autoremovable packages before installing pkgc.

- test-bug-960705-*: Support 3.0 solver

  Bit awkward to deal with; notably the protect to conflict doesn't
  actually work anymore and that is a feature these days.

This doesn't allow all tests to run cleanly, but it at least allows to
write tests which could run successfully in such environments.

We use test{success,failure} now all over the place in the framework, so
its only consequencial to do this in the situations in which we test for
a specific output as well.
