A dependency on an arch-specific package which is not a valid candidate
should lead to the depending package not being a candidate.
For now we ensure that the generated excuses output remains the same,
so that we don't have to wait for consumers to adapt to a new format.
Changing the output format should be revisited at a later point.

The code using the variables was refactored in 694d614b. As a result
they were still set in iter_packages() but never subsequently used.

Previously a package which became obsolete during a run would not be
automatically removed until the next run. This was due to the fact that
sources[][BINARIES] is not updated during the run. Instead, we build a
list of source packages which produce at least one binary and then
remove any packages not in that list.

"not force and not earlyabort" simplifies to "not earlyabort" rather
than "not force", as an easy hint would set "earlyabort" but not
"force".

All callers of get_reverse_tree compute the same modification of its
return value, so move that computation into get_reverse_tree.

When processing a hint of the form "easy pkgX libX" where libX would be
a candidate for smooth updates because pkgX/testing depends on it but
pkgX/unstable does not, and there are no other reverse dependencies,
the old binary from libX can simply be dropped straight away.

The only test currently implemented is to ensure that any prospective
hint contains at least one item beyond the hint name. This prevents
lines in a hint file consisting simply of e.g. "easy" being added to
the hint list and causing later processing to abort with an error.
