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.

This causes Multi-arch dependencies like "pkg:i386" to show up as
unsatisfiable in excuses.
Previously, the dependency would be checked on the wrong architecture
(if available) and cause the package to become a valid candidate. The
package would still be prevent from migrating as the installability
checker does not know of the "pkg:i386" package.

Although it's technically correct, none of the other messages include closing
tags, and at least grep-excuses isn't prepared to deal with closing tags.

In the unsat_deps case, it was used to update a field in the excuse,
but the field was never read anywhere.

Use the is_valid in "html"-method to determine whether to write "Valid
candidate" or not. This avoids the occasional:
* Valid candidate
* Invalidated by dependency
* Not considered

generate_package_list had the unintended side-effect of regenerating
self.excuses (up top of the original excuses).

Presumably there once was a reason for having a notion of "depth",
but these days only 3 "values" were given as "maxdepth":
* "easy" (for easy hint)
* 0 (for "main run" or in a "hint"-hint)
* -1 (for force-hint)

This allows britney to load a python2.7 variant of the C module when
run under python2.7.
Note for python3, we add "python3" rather than "python3.Y". This is
to reflect the include path in the python3 package in the archive.

"affected" is not allowed to contain duplicates. Since the current
method of removing any such duplicates is
affected = list(set(affected))
then the order of affected is not important.
As a side effect, make get_reverse_tree return a set instead of a
list as its return value is always inserted into affected.

Features like the auto-hinter, smooth-upgrades and removal of obsolete
source packages are now unconditionally enabled.

An "obsolete source" is one which produces no binaries. This situation
generally arises when all of the binaries which used to be produced by
the source package are now built by other sources.
Sooner or later such sources will probably be auto-crufted from unstable,
but there's no real reason to keep them in testing in the meantime.

The initial packages of a hint are HintItems, whereas other packages
considered whilst processing the hint will be MigrationItems. In
either case, the version information is irrelevant during the output
of hint processing and only displaying it for some items is confusing
and distracting. Therefore, whilst processing a hint we always use
unversioned names.

Simply updating the include in britney-py.c, rebuilding and changing
the shebang of britney.py appears to be enough to make the switch in my
tests, so we just do that for now at least.

If a hint item references unstable but its version is not correct for
that suite, we compare the version to the (t)pu version (if any) and
if a match is found update the item as if it had been explicitly
specified as applying to that suite originally.

Changing the suite requires update the item's canonical names, as these
need to reflect the new suite.
The property() function only applies to new-style classes, so we also
need to update MigrationItem to be new-style.

This allows us to re-canonicalise the item's name if any of the item's
properties are altered without updating its name.
