Implement --release

This option permits specifying any valid Ubuntu release codename or
numeric version for excuses-kicker to use in generating the retrigger
URLs. Package dependencies will be looked up against
<codename>-proposed.

This is useful if you have two packages in, say, focal-proposed, that
won't migrate individually because one depends on the other. The URLs
output by "excuse-kicker --codename focal <package>" will be generated
for focal to run both packages together.

Implement --all-proposed

With this option, the retrigger URLs are generated to prefer the
-proposed versions of all dependencies. In this case, it's not
necessary to individually specify packages from -proposed since they're
all included by default anyway so we skip doing that.

This can be useful if you're not sure what exactly the package needs
retriggered against, and when you suspect excuses-kicker isn't going to
be able to identify the dependencies itself.

It's unclear if a successful autopkgtest run with all-proposed enabled
is sufficient to get Britney to allow the package to migrate. However,
if it isn't, doing so will cause all necessary dependencies to be
recorded in autopkage. That means that once an --all-proposed run
finishes, you should be able to run excuses-kicker without
--all-proposed to do a "normal" retrigger that includes the specific
dependency versions, and this will definitely be accepted by Britney.

Avoid path munging if code is imported rather than exec'd

If importing the script's code into a test for testing, the path
adjustments can cause trouble, so avoid altering the system path unless
the script name is in globals.

Add a --extra-triggers parameter for extra packages to trigger

Normally excuses-kicker only constructs triggers for things the package
has been triggered against in the past. This often works well, but
doesn't cover cases like new dependencies in proposed, or transitions
where a package needs to be rebuilt against dependencies it does not
normally need built against.
