Allow a package to replace its own buildtime dependency
If a package has a buildtime dependency on a previous version that
it will replace, then do not treat it as a slot conflict. This
solves inappropriate behavior for dev-lang/rust[system-bootstrap].
This requires adjustments to package selection logic in several
locations, in order to ensure that an installed package instance
will be selected to satisfy a buildtime dependency when
appropriate. Dependencies of the installed package will be
entirely ignored, but that has already been the case when using
installed package to break cycles, as discussed in bug 199856.
