[OE-core] [PATCH 0/1] opkg svn: respect to the arch priority

[Robert Yang]

After the discussion, this seems a proper solution:

Let the arch priority win the higher version by default, and add an
option (--select-higher-version) for it to make the higher version win
the arch priority, so that the user can have another choice.

This is only for opkg_svn.bb, maybe the opkg_0.1.8.bb should be removed
since it does work on the master branch:
- It doesn't support the "--force_postinstall" option which is used by
  package_ipk.bbclass.

- It still doesn't work after remove the "--force_postinstall" option,
  it can't install the packages in complementary_pkgs.txt, I haven't
  found out the reason.

  I'd like to remove it.

* Test info
  - With MACHINE= "qemux86"
  $ bitbake core-image-sato
  - With MACHINE= "crownbay"
  $ bitbake core-image-sato

  The "xserver-xorg*_1.9.3-r1_core2.ipk" will be installed to the
  crownbay's image. It would install the "xserver-xorg*_1.11.2-r7_i586.ipk"
  in the past.

  - Simulate the upgrade command:

  > Update the list:
  $ ./tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/bin/opkg-cl -f \
/buildarea2/lyang1/ipk_build/tmp/work/crownbay-poky-linux/core-image-sato-1.0-r0/opkg.conf \
-o /buildarea2/lyang1/ipk_build/tmp/work/crownbay-poky-linux/core-image-sato-1.0-r0/rootfs update

  > Test the upgrade command:
  $ ./tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/bin/opkg-cl -f
/buildarea2/lyang1/ipk_build/tmp/work/crownbay-poky-linux/core-image-sato-1.0-r0/opkg.conf \
-o /buildarea2/lyang1/ipk_build/tmp/work/crownbay-poky-linux/core-image-sato-1.0-r0/rootfs upgrade 
  # Nothing has been done

  > Test the --select-higher-version
  $ ./tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/bin/opkg-cl -f
/buildarea2/lyang1/ipk_build/tmp/work/crownbay-poky-linux/core-image-sato-1.0-r0/opkg.conf
-o /buildarea2/lyang1/ipk_build/tmp/work/crownbay-poky-linux/core-image-sato-1.0-r0/rootfs \
--select-higher-version upgrade
  # The "xserver-xorg*_1.9.3-r1_core2.ipk" would be upgraded to
	"xserver-xorg*_1.11.2-r7_i586.ipk".

  $ runqemu qemux86
  The image started, and run the "opkg-cl" command in qemu, it worked well.
