A package can have old cruft no longer in testing, which can't
migrate because it depends on old libraries or packages that
aren't in testing anymore, preventing migration.
There's no point in trying to migrate old cruft that has already
been removed in testing anyway, so don't do that.

The same_source is supposed to compare two versions and (if needed)
"massage" a binNMU version into a source version. This extra feature
of same_source happens to be unused (and not generally applicable):
1) We always compare two source versions, so there is never a
binNMU version in the first place.
2) binary versions are *not* always equal to their source version
(even with the binNMU suffix stripped). This happens when
packages use "dpkg-gencontrol -v<version>".
Note this causes results from some live-data tests to change, because
there has been a sourceful upload with a binNMU version. It was
intended as a binNMU, but was uploaded with the source as well. As
Britney no longer works around this issue, it makes her remove the
affected packages in the end (as their source version does not match
the version in testing).

This bug involves a corner case that involves:
* source orig providing liborig1 and orig-doc in testing
* source orig providing liborig2 and orig-doc in unstable
* source hijack providing liborig2 and orig-doc in both testing and unstable,
where the versions of hijack's binaries has a higher version than those of
"orig".
The arch:all packages are needed to trigger this, because Britney
flags an arch:any package as "out of date" and stops the migration
there. However, she is more lenient with arch:all packages.
What happens is that Britney realises that src:orig need to be updated
in testing (to remove liborig1). This leaves src:orig with no
binaries left in testing (as the orig-doc from hijack is used) and it
is therefore removed as an obsolete source. The obsolete removal then
exploded because Britney was also trying to remove the liborig1
package, which is no longer there.

With this patch, Britney will correctly parse (and deparse) a
versioned Provides. Furthermore, she will allow it to satisfy any
unversioned dependency on the provided package.
This is the easy half of #786803.

Rely on the Installability tester to locate all of the affected
packages plus their transitive reverse dependencies. As the
InstallabilityTester is suite agnostic, the set of affected packages
now includes (versions of) packages not in testing, which is filtered
out during the check.

If we have an up-to-date arch all package available for this architecture,
that doesn't mean this architecture has an up-to-date build. We need an
architecture specific up-to-date package for that.

Use a set to filter out seen items to avoid doing O(n^2)
de-duplication. For very large hints, this can take considerable
time.
Using "seen_items" to build the actual hints on the (unverified)
assumption that Python can do something "smart" to turn a set into a
frozenset faster than it can with a list.

Britney is now smart enough to produce the same result from hints
regardless of the order of the items in the hint. With this in mind,
we can have the original auto-hinter produce hints as sets and filter
out duplicates as we produce them.
Note that the hints are sorted to produce deterministic output (to
make it easier to compare the hints between runs and changes).

This updates the doop_source and _compute_groups functions so
that binary packages that are built from a different source
aren't included as part of an update to the original source.
In the event that it's a binary-only update, also don't remove
the hijacked packages from testing.
This change also removes an obsolete comment regardarding pre-conditions
for the _compute_groups function.
The live-data tests rely on an inconsistency, since they were before
Britney started to record the Essential field.

britney assumes that a package build is uniquely described by its
name, version and architecture. Particularly when constructing
Packages files by hand for testing purposes this assumption can be
violated, leading to confusing behaviour. This change makes britney
look for such mismatches, and report if any are found.
Notably:
* Avoid repeated calls frozenset(X), where we can trivially do
without.
* Skip the inner loop, when "i" is in "to_skip".
* Use a set rather than a list for "to_skip" as we do more
membership tests.
