Each property returns the value of the corresponding property for the first
entry in the package list; this is a handy short-cut for hints where there
will only ever be one package in the list (e.g. "age-days", "unblock").

string.split()'s second argument specifies the maximum number of times
the string should be split, not the maximum number of elements in the
result.

In order to make a number of the changes required for the migration simpler,
we also complete the previous migration to using {Hint,Migration}Item rather
than passing around strings representing packages and converting between
the two forms in several places.

In order to provide the support, items may now be tested for equality
and hashed. Two items are considered equal if they have the same
unversioned name (and version, if appropriate); hashing is based on
a tuple hash of the name and version.

The major change is reversing the order of three-part item names (i.e.
binNMUs with version information included) to use the more traditional
ordering of <src>/<arch>/<ver>.
Even if an instance is marked as versionned, passing a non-versionned
source package name should not cause a traceback.

This can be used to retrieve the version information from a versionned hint;
for unversionned hints, it is effectively a synonym for "name".

These classes encapsulate information about individual hints, with
HintCollection providing a convenient wrapper around a set of hints.

The new convenience HintItem class automatically sets the "this item contains
version information" flag when creating a new item.

The use of MigrationItem allows us to centralise the parsing and splitting of
package names and architectures, avoiding duplication and simplifying a
number of conditions.

Rather than only considering pairs of packages, we start from a "leaf"
package (i.e. one with an excuse which declares no dependencies on
other packages' excuses) and recursively build a list of packages
which are the dependency or reverse dependency of a package already
in the list.
Any list which is a subset of another list is ignored and the remaining
items are then processed as "easy" hints.

Previously we could not reliably detect whether an excuse's dependency
from a source package to a binNMU was valid, as the excuse did not
contain sufficient information to determine the set of architecture(s)
on which the dependency existed.
By modifying the representation of the dependency list in the excuse to
include an architecture list we can walk the relationships in reverse
in order to sanity-check the source -> binNMU dependency.

When considering an excuse for pkg1/arch, a dependency on either of
pkg2/source or pkg2/arch should be considered acceptable so long
as there is a corresponding excuse.
Dependencies from pkg1/source to pkg2/arch will still be considered
"impossible", as pkg1's excuse does not contain any information
regarding the architecture(s) on which its dependency to pkg2 exists.

This allows the consideration of packages from proposed-updates to be
{dis,en}abled depending on whether the configuration file specifies

This is most likely to be useful near the beginning of a release cycle,
when the versions of a package in stable and testing are the same and
the new version of the package is unable to migrate from unstable for
some reason.

The permissions issues which led to the writing being disabled no longer
exist and not persisting the date list makes b2 unsuitable for use as a
primary implementation.
