- Fixed bad behavior when satisfying "Conflicts" or "Obsoletes" dependencies
  (discovered in ALT#42415), namely:
  + "Obsoletes" causing the deletion of its "virtual" targets (i.e.,
    providing packages) whereas this behavior is expected for Conflicts only;
  + versioned "Conflicts" (or "Obsoletes") causing the deletion of packages
    with non-matching version.
- Enriched the output of Debug::pkgMarkInstall with the versions of
  the dependency targets and the targets being considered during the search.
- Complemented it with a new option (Debug::pkgMarkAllCalls) -- to understand
  better why the result of resolving a broken dep is unexpected in some cases.

- Fixed the new compilation warnings by simplifying the ALT-specific code
  in pkgcache.cc (AllTargets) from 0.5.15lorg2-alt31. (Discovered by gcc12.)

- wrapper: Undo sub-reaper and provide post-update hook instead.
