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. Signed-off-by: Paul Barker <paul@paulbarker.me.uk>
