Setting SMOOTH_UPDATES to a string which is neither a valid section
name (nor the magic string "ALL") should allow removal of old libraries
to continue without any new smooth updated libraries being accepted.
An empty SMOOTH_UPDATES would also stop removals from occurring.

"not force and not earlyabort" simplifies to "not earlyabort" rather
than "not force", as an easy hint would set "earlyabort" but not
"force".

All callers of get_reverse_tree compute the same modification of its
return value, so move that computation into get_reverse_tree.

When processing a hint of the form "easy pkgX libX" where libX would be
a candidate for smooth updates because pkgX/testing depends on it but
pkgX/unstable does not, and there are no other reverse dependencies,
the old binary from libX can simply be dropped straight away.

The only test currently implemented is to ensure that any prospective
hint contains at least one item beyond the hint name. This prevents
lines in a hint file consisting simply of e.g. "easy" being added to
the hint list and causing later processing to abort with an error.

This causes Multi-arch dependencies like "pkg:i386" to show up as
unsatisfiable in excuses.
Previously, the dependency would be checked on the wrong architecture
(if available) and cause the package to become a valid candidate. The
package would still be prevent from migrating as the installability
checker does not know of the "pkg:i386" package.

Although it's technically correct, none of the other messages include closing
tags, and at least grep-excuses isn't prepared to deal with closing tags.

In the unsat_deps case, it was used to update a field in the excuse,
but the field was never read anywhere.

Use the is_valid in "html"-method to determine whether to write "Valid
candidate" or not. This avoids the occasional:
* Valid candidate
* Invalidated by dependency
* Not considered
