setup libsolv: getting rid of ".any"

setup libsolv: getting rid of ".any"

[Ken Brown]

Jon,

I've been trying to think of a way to get rid of the suffix ".any" that 
gets appended to package names.  I think users will be confused by this 
when they see it in log files and, more importantly, in problem reports. 
  The only thing I can come up with is patching libsolv so that 
pool_solvable2str() suppresses 'arch' when arch == ARCH_ANY.  Can you 
think of a better way?

Ideally, we'd have the actual archness of the package, but we don't have 
that information for installed packages, so I didn't bother with keeping 
it around for anything.

I'm not too worried about this appearing in the log file, but we could 
post-process problem strings in SolverSolution::report() to remove '.any'
