> Add SyncFirst option.
>
> This patch offers a way to fix FS#9228.
> By putting "SyncFirst = pacman" in pacman.conf, the version check will
> happen before the transaction really starts, and before any replacements
> is
> made.
> Otherwise, no version check is done.
>
> The sync301 pactest was updated to use this SyncFirst option.
>
> Example session with SyncFirst = pacman, and a newer pacman version
> available :
> $ pacman -Su (or pacman -S <any targets>)
> :: the following packages should be upgraded first :
> pacman
> :: Do you want to cancel the current operation
> :: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n]
>
> resolving dependencies...
> looking for inter-conflicts...
>
> Targets: pacman-x.y.z-t
>
> Total Download Size: x.xx MB
> Total Installed Size: x.xx MB
>
> Proceed with installation? [Y/n] n
>
> As Nagy previously noted, doing this check on any -S operations might
> look
> intrusive, but it can be required.
> For example, the case where you want to install a package with versioned
> provisions, using a pacman version which didn't support that feature yet
> (and there is already a newer pacman in sync db supporting it).

Warning: pkg literal also satisfies pkg. But in most cases we called
what_provides if we didn't find a literal.

Warning: possible slowdown, the old way just stopped after a satisfier (which
is ideal in checkdeps), now we scan the whole db.

Imho this is ugly. First we find it, then we again find it via list_remove.
