[pacman-dev] Fix for overwritten NoUpgrade files

Here is a small shell script to fix issues some people have been
having with the removal of the NoUpgrade lines. A quick summary of
what this does- it will scan the default list of NoUpgrade files in
addition to any you have added on your own, and reset the stored
md5sum in the database so the next upgrade will force a pacnew file to
be written. This will be a one time deal, and will allow immediate
removal of any NoUpgrade lines from pacman.conf.

Questions or comments on this thread if you have them.
