feat(db): add partial split package option to db remove
By default passing a pkgbase removes all split packages, debug packages as well as entries from the state repo for all existing architectures. When using the `--partial` option it may most likely lead to undesired effects by leaving debug packages behind as well as dangling entries in the state repository. However, for specific use cases its required to get rid of old split package parts. Fixes #218 Component: pkgctl db remove Signed-off-by: Levente Polyak <anthraxx@archlinux.org>

Description
-----------
-Remove packages from pacman repositories.
+Remove packages from pacman repositories. By default passing a pkgbase removes
+all split packages, debug packages as well as entries from the state repo for
+all existing architectures.
+
+Beware when using the `--partial` option, as it may most likely lead to
+undesired effects by leaving debug packages behind as well as dangling entries
+in the state repository.
Options
-------
+*--partial*::
+ Remove only partial pkgnames from a split package. This leaves debug
+ packages behind and pkgbase entries in the state repo.
+
*-a, --arch* 'ARCH'::
- Override the architecture (disables auto-detection)
+ Remove only one specific architecture (disables auto-detection).
+ By default all architectures are removed when this option is not used.
