New feature: files verification
This implements FS#13877. Add a new option "-Qk" which checks if all of the files for a given package (or packages) are really on the system (i.e. not accidentally deleted). This can be combined with filters and other display options. It also respects both the --quiet and --verbose flags to give varying levels of output. Based on the original patch by Charly Coste <changaco@laposte.net>, thanks for your work! Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
