command to synchronize installed packages with available ones

Similar to ‘apt-get upgrade’ to upgrade all packages instead of hand picking packages to upgrade.

Also need ‘apk sync-repo’ or similar to change package versions to something that exists at least one repository. Which can end up downgrading experimental packages.

Changesets:
- Revision 4d04bd8a by Timo Teräs on 2009-06-25T07:31:05Z:

upgrade: new applet

Currently just goes through all world dependencies and updates them
where possible (ref #51).

Revision 3a488564 by Timo Teräs on 2009-06-25T08:09:40Z:

upgrade: add --available option

That will make the upgrade prefer packages available in repositories.
This is good if one want's to downgrade packages by removing an experimental
repository. Or to force re-install of locally built vs. repository version
when the package version are same, but checksum is different. Fixes #51.
