Cover letter [PATCH 0/1] opkg svn: respect to the arch priority

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:

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.
