[pacman-dev] [PATCH 2/2] Maintain a list of seen packages when installing a group

[Dan McGee]

As reported in FS#20221, we don't always do the right thing when installing
a group and using the --needed option. This was due to the code pulling
packages based on what was already in the transaction's add list, but
completely ignoring the fact that we may have already seen and skipped this
same package in an earlier repository.

Add a list to the private _alpm_sync_pkg() function that allows us to have
this extra information so we don't mistakenly downgrade a package when using
--needed.

I have these queued up for maint locally. Let me know if there are any
objections to doing that, but given that I actually added some tests I'm pretty
confident this didn't break anything else.
