APK add --upgrade flag non-transient

When ‘apk add —upgrade’ is run, the ‘—repository’ option is ignored. I would think this is a logical operation to attempt - “I would like to upgrade this package from this particular repository”. Instead, the upgrade does not happen.

Preliminary steps:

1. Boot alpine-standard-3.6.2-x86_64.iso
2. Run setup-alpine to get network access, but do not add a web repository
