With a bit of code we can replace the manual file-handling for
"upgrade_output" with a logger. This will enable us to refactor other
bits that currently depend on "output_write" by making those bits use
a logger instead.
This also migrates "do_hint" to use the new output logger. This is
due to "do_hint" being the only method relying on writing of partial
lines and maintaining support for that in "output_write" would have
been non-trivial.
To ensure "pretty" formatting to stdout, the messages in
"output_write" are now chopped into multiple lines.
The only visible change is that the output to stdout from
"output_write" now also includes the prefix with a timestamp.
However, then contents of "upgrade_output" remain unchanged
deliberately.

We already know the item is successful when we print it and the next
line ("final:") will confirm it any way.

At a glance, it looks like the value of "better" variable can be
decided from 3-4 places. However, due to the code flow only two of
those assignments are truly "live"/useful.

This commit rewrites the make-shift "log" methods to use the logging
framework without requiring changes to the callers. This will be done
in a latter commit to keep things reviewable.

The "Out of date" binaries loop has gotten too complex to also handle
the "unsatisifiable dependency" check. Concretely, we failed to
generate proper excuses for arch:all packages due to this.
Separate the two loops to restore the arch:all check.

Add a new "BuildDependsPolicy" that will check the satisfiability of
the build-dependencies listed in the Build-Depends and
Build-Depends-Arch fields. This enables gating of packages based on
missing / broken build-dependencies.
There are some limitations:
* Build-Depends-Indep is ignored for now. Missing or broken packages
listed in Build-Depends-Indep will be continue to be silently
ignored.
* Being a policy check, it does not enforce "self-containedness" as
a package can still migrate before a build-dependency. However,
this can only happen if the build-dependency is ready to migrate
itself. If the build-dependency is not ready (e.g. new RC bugs),
then packages build-depending on it cannot migrate either (unless
the version in testing satisfies there requirements).

We basically use them as sets and do not need to rely on the ordering,
so we might as well just turn them into proper sets.

The original method confused IntelliJ into thinking that binary_t was
a boolean rather than an object.

With this change, Britney can now provide a very brief summary of the
migration via one single value (YAML) or line (HTML). This solves two
issues:
* It provides an aggregated version of the policy decision without
having to loop over all policies (and even those would not give
a full verdict on their own as not all rejections come from
policies)
* It enables a simple way to inform readers of the HTML excuses of
whether a rejection is permanent or not. This should hopefully
make it easier for contributors to understand Britney and react
more pro-actively.

In the unlike case that there are multiple removal hints, showing
the first valid hint should be sufficient.

Doing this means that you can't use the hint tester for packages with
uppercase characters in the version, e.g.
Version mismatch, dreamchess 0.2.1-rc2-2build1 != 0.2.1-RC2-2build1

This fixes commit 497edc to really allow policies to see if the excuse has
already been invalidated by previous policies.
