Introduce apt satisfy and apt-get satisfy
Allow to satisfy dependency strings supplied on the command line, optionally prefixed with "Conflicts:" to satisfy them like Conflicts. Build profiles and architecture restriction lists, as used in build dependencies, are supported as well. Compared to build-dep, build-essential is not installed automatically, and installing of recommended packages follows the global default, which defaults to yes. Closes: #275379 See merge request apt-team/apt!63
