[Toaster] Questions on database pacakge.size == -1

[Damian, Alexandru]

​Packages with size -1 should not be displayed​ at all in table pages !

They are in the database to provide targets for dependency links. In other
words:
- When toaster gets the list of packages, all valid entries in the database
are created.
- When it gets the dependency list, it may happen that dependency targets
are not the package list.  This may happen for any number of reasons, for
example conflicts with a package that was not built in the current built,
but it signals the installer to not install both packages at the same time.
- Because we need package entries in the database, we create virtual
packages with size -1.

Packages with size -1 should not be displayed in package tables, but they
should be displayed in dependency information in package details.
