The feature is used to remove binaries left by smooth-updates and is not
exposed as an available hint type.

Commit 94071b1649 excluded intra-source
dependencies from the determination as to whether a binary package was
eligible for smooth updates. Whilst this works in many cases, there
are situations where it breaks migration. For instance:
foo depends on libdropped1
libdropped1 depends on libdropped2
libdropped1 and libdropped2 are built from the same source; foo from
another source
libdropped2 is otherwise leaf in testing
In order to resolve this, we build a list of all packages which might
be eligible and filter out those which have reverse-dependencies outside
of their source package. For each remaining package, we consider it
eligible if its intra-source reverse-dependencies are within the list
of packages already determined to be eligible.

The minimal set is comprised of only the first level of (reverse)
dependencies, before any further iterations of packages are added to
the set. In some cases, the result of the full iteration will contain
packages which cause problems when migrated but the minimal set,
although possibly a less optimal solution, may be able to migrate
successfully.
It is assumed that migrating the larger set of packages will be
preferred if possible, so minimal sets are tried later.

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.

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.
