Introduce -D, --database
The request of FS#12950 is implemented. On the backend side, I introduced a new function, alpm_db_set_pkgreason(), to modify the install reason of a package in the local database. On the front-end side, I introduced a new main operation, -D/--database, which has two options, --asdeps and --asexplicit. I documented this in pacman manual. I've created two pactests to test -D: database001.py and database002.py. Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
