diffpkg: prefer to search inside the pool dir if available
On certain packaging machines where the pacman cache gets updated very infrequently, the behavior of diffpkg may not function correctly as old packages were to be downloaded as diff target. In such cases we look for a pool directory first and search via a glob for an available pool package sorted by version. The pool search glob has three glob segments each disallowing the dash delimiter to split across pkgrel, pkgver and arch. This will return the correct package from the pool without considering overly eager wildcards that potentially match different pkgnames. The default pool search directory is /srv/ftp/pool
