If we have allowed the removal of manual packages, assume them
all before starting the solver. This should ensure that as long
as there is a solution that does not remove a manually installed
package, it is found.
This requires a sweeping set of changes in the test suite, but
ensures that we get "safe" behavior from the solver. We have
in particular seen that without asserting the installed packages,
several people ended up with ubuntu-minimal and perl removed in
a situation where that was not warranted, that is, they install
winehq, and then pull in some new perl packages in a newer version
than the installed one, and the solver chose to create a mismatched
version set, which then caused the main perl package to not be
installable.

This has two aspects:
1. For a dependency A | B | C we order the obsolete packages last,
that is, if A is obsolete, this gets reordered to B | C | A,
such that we try to pick non-obsolete packages first to ease
upgrade calculation.
2. When comparing two dependencies, we order dependencies into three
groups: First we satisfy dependencies mentioning only non-installed
(NEW) packages, then we satisfy "normal" dependencies, and finally
we satisfy any dependencies mentioning obsolete packages.
This means for example if you have obsolete libfoo1 and a new
libfoo1t64, that we will see Depends: libfoo1t64 before any
Depends: libfoo1 (which may expand to libfoo1 | libfoo1t64),
so we effectively will have selected "replacement" packages
this way already before getting to older packages where we
would have to choose between the obsolete package and its
replacement.

This somewhat improves reliability of not breaking Recommends, e.g.
if the Recommends gets tightened. One test case enabled by this now
is the test-resolver-provider-exchange, which with a simple change
to allow removal of automatically installed packages works now.

We were traditionally adding points for some dependency types to the
real package, but we should also do it for providers of that package to
help the resolver especially if the real package is for some reason not
tagged for removal yet/anymore.
While at it we ensure that the points are only attributed once for each
package as especially with versioned provides a package can nowadays
provide another many times and would hence acquire a lot of points.
