Martin Pitt c9173b3ca3 Promote packages with unbuilt reverse dependencies if testing version succeeds ...

Commit 463 ("Don't promote packages with unbuilt reverse dependencies") turned
out to be too strict: This holds up too many innocent packages in -proposed.

If unstable has an unbuilt/uninstallable reverse dependency D of a package P,
trigger a test anyway (which will then most likely run against the testing
version of D). If that succeeds, the unstable P did not break D and can be
accepted. If it fails, D needs to be fixed.

Ideally we would set up some clever apt pinning to force installation of
testing-D, to avoid running into the uninstallability of unstable-D, but this
is tricky and error prone.

Drop the temporary "UNINST" state from commit 466 again. Instead, excuses.html
will now show a test against the testing version of D together with a note that
the unstable version is unbuilt/uninstallable.

This should ideally clear up all cases where a requested result is neither
present or pending. Log an error if that still happens (will be checked in the
next couple of runs), and ensure in the tests that we don't trigger any
outstanding "FIXME" log messages.
