The "Out of date" binaries loop has gotten too complex to also handle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.

Cleanly split doop_source into a (small) part about source packages
and a (longer) part about binary packages.

Coverage suggests that the conditions are always true. If so, we can
replace the "elif" with a regular "if" - but for now, lets keep an
assert.

Add a check to ensure we do not create broken test data (as happened
recently, where the architecture values were swapped for a single
binary). A cold hard failure like this is easier to debug
compared to Britney playing "garbage in, garbage out".

Add some "no cover" to some unrecoverable exceptions
(e.g. misconfiguration) or base-class methods that are not intended to
be invoked.

This gives Policies the opportunity to see if a previous check
(build/installability) or earlier policies already invalidated the update. This
allows writing policies that work on groups of packages, or skipping expensive
checks (such as triggering autopkgtests while the package is not built or
installable yet).
