Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH] be_files : stores REPLACES and FORCE in desc.

repo-add and db_read both assume that REPLACES and FORCE fields are in the desc file, so do that for db_write as well (instead of depends file).

Note that db_write is currently only used on the local database. And the only purpose of replaces and force in local database is for information purpose (available on -Qi operations). So this is not a big problem.
