for FS#29935 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29935

This patch will cause packages like notification-daemon to be ignored if something providing notification-daemon is installed, mostly useful for when installing groups like pacman -Syu gnome. It also causes packages to be ignored based on if the things it provides are already installed, tested on jre7 from aur and then trying to install jre7-openjdk with the --needed flag. This also works with sysv and initscripts, if you have removed them in favor of sysvcompat, pacman -Syu base --needed should ignore those packages

I see no reason to expose these to the lib (yet?). Declare them as static in the file they're used in. I'm also a little surprised this sort of thing doesn't already exist elsewhere in the lib. Do we really need to call our own public API?
