opkg_prepare_url_for_install: Handle force_reinstall as upgrade
The best way to handle force_reinstall is to make the reinstall look like an
upgrade - because we already have a good package upgrade path. With the new
per package force_reinstall flag this is now possible.
In opkg_prepare_url_for_install, we set the per-package force_reinstall flag for
the given package. As this function is only called for packages explicitly
specified as arguments to 'opkg install' or 'opkg_install_package', the flag
will only be applied to the indended packages.
If a package name is given which exists in a package feed then we need to cheat
a little. We lookup the package in the feed and get its local filename and then
act as if that path were given as a URL.
This function is the best place to handle the force_reinstall flag as it is
responsible for setting the package hash table up so that
pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate_by_name() returns the intended
pacakge.
The old logic in opkg_install_cmd which calls opkg_remove_cmd to remove the
previously installed package is no longer needed and is removed.
This solves issue #71 without causing a regression on issue #51.
