Subject: [PATCH] Cleanup of _alpm_pkg_compare_versions.

* Change the return values to be more informative.
It was previously boolean, only indicating if the sync pkg was newer than
local pkg or not.
Now it is a cmp function : -1 if sync pkg is older, 0 if same version, 1 if
newer.

* Add a new alpm_pkg_has_force function to access the pkg->force field like
any other package fields.

* Remove the not so useful and confusing "skipping" and "reinstalling"
messages, which were also cluttering the -Sp and -Sw output.

* Clarify the description of the --needed option.
