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).

The doop_source method does not generate any /binary/ undo items,
where the package name starts with "-". This fact allows us to remove
a branch in the undo code. This also happens to be fortunate because
the call to "inst_tester.remove_testing_binary" in that branch happens
to be wrong.

Why duplicate that in the configuration when Britney can just pull it
in the Release file for testing? :)

As a side effect, remove mips64el from NEW_ARCHES as we no longer need
that as a work around.

It is unwieldy to have one half of output data generation in the policy but not
the other half of updating the excuse. Now that apply_policy() gets the excuse
object as argument we can move everything there.

This allows tests to check whether there are any missing builds or old
binaries, so that expensive actions such as "trigger an autopkgtest" are not
done too early/in vain.

For future policies such as running autopkgtests it is important to know
whether a package has built, so that expensive actions such as "trigger an
autopkgtest" are not done too early/in vain.
This requires dropping the "age != 0" check for adding the out-of-date-ness to
the Excuse, as the policies now run later. But this check only applied to an
infinitesimal age, and even with age == 0 it is still a valid excuse that there
are missing binaries.

FAILED/SUCCESS lines would be separated by a whitespace from the list
of architectures, but not itself followed by whitespace. This is slightly
confusing, as one could interpret it as being a heading for the following
block of tested packages, rather that the final result of the previous
block.
This includes refining "HINTS_ALL" to cover all hints added at
runtime.
Currently, it is not very useful. However, a later commit will allow
policies to use this feature.

Refactor the handling of the policy info code, so every policy does
not have to implement the same boilerplate code.
