Making possible to uninstall dependencies

Reported by: UnFleshed One Assigned to: taj

Description

Patch to erase dependency record before calling uninstall script. This will make it possible for meta packages to take out their dependencies with them (unless something else depends on them).

With this applied it is possible to do: 

package_a.apspec:

[Prepare]
require @root/package_b

[Uninstall]
uninstallFromLog

if isNameKnown package_b_shortname
then
     uninstallPackage package_b_shortname
fi

Currently uninstall of B will fail because it still thinks A depends on it.

I think this looks good, and I can't see any downsides of applying it. Curtis or Taj, do you agree?

Looks good to me.

In theory, this could be a problem if something that is unknown to Autopackage though isNameKnown is using the dep (e.g., something installed from source). However, I don't think this will really be a problem, especially if the packager knows that they're doing.
