It's more natural to say "check this package if the current arch is in
this list" than "do not check this package if the current arch is not
in this list"

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.
In some scenarios, it was possible to trigger a bug in the
installability tester, where it would fail to update the "choices" set.
The requirements for triggering this seems to be something like:
* Obtain a choice that is possible to solve.
* Resolve the choice without recursing (with a backtrack point)
* Obtain a second choice that is impossible to solve.
After the two first steps, the installability tester would fail to
update the "choices" set (or, rather, changes would be invisible to
the "_pick_choice" function). Fortunately, most packages are either
trivially installable or trivially uninstallable, so the bug seems to
be rather rare if triggred at all.

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.

The get_dependency_solvers method returns a (boolean, list)-tuple, but
the boolean can always be implied from the list (in boolean context).

cmp is gone in python3. Also add a sorting method to Excuse that is
compatible with its __eq__/__hash__ methods.

It doesn't exist in python3, but 1000 days should be safe enough as a
fallback for a package without urgency.

- split the one-liner into a for and an if
- use open() as a context manager
- don't use string.strip which is gone in python3

Done as kFreeBSD is not a release architecture and it has started to
block migration of release related changes. I have kept it out of
"BREAK_ARCHES" as I do not yet see a reason to add it there.

The "remark" hint is only intended for showing up in the output of "d"
(or via hint grep). It has no effect on Britney's behaviour.
Admittedly, the original code would have ignored it as well. But this
change makes it explicit and not simply a "ignored due to insufficient
permissions".

For out-of-date binaries, generate different excuses when the build is
missing, or when old (cruft) binaries for previous version are still around.
