prevent MarkInstall of unsynced Multi-Arch:same siblings
Multi-Arch: same packages can be co-installed, but need to have the same
version for all installed packages (aka "siblings"). Otherwise the
unsynced versions will fight against each other and the auto-install as
wel as the problem resolver will later have to decide between holding the
packages or to remove one of the siblings (usually a foreign) taking a
bunch of packages (like the entire foreign setup) with them.
The idea here is now to be more pro-active: MarkInstall will fail for
a package if the siblings aren't synced, so we don't allow a situation
in which a resolver has to decide if to hold or to remove-upgrade under
the assumption that the remove-upgrade decision is always wrong and
doesn't deserve to be explored (expect valid out-of-syncs of course).
Thats a pretty bold move to take for a library which is used by
different solvers so this check is done in IsInstallOk and can be
overridden if front-ends want to.
