  1. lib: don't allow xbps self-update to bypass integrity checks 

    This reverts 83ade39.

In the past, self-updates mandated that only xbps and its dependencies can be
updated if an xbps update is avaliable.

As updating dependencies may break their depndents, xbps used
XBPS_FLAG_FORCE_REMOVE_REVDEPS in order to bypass integrety checks when using
xbps-install -u xbps.

This can result in circumstances where the the system is rendered inoperable
due to missing or mismatched dependencies of core system packages (e.g. PAM).

Remove the auto-update mechanism until a better designed system can be
implemented.
