Subject: [PATCH] Avoid reinstalling installonly packages marked for ERASE

Without this patch reinstalling installonly pkg marked for ERASE might
be a valid smallest solution to our job.

For example when user wants to install through a provide we select all
packages that provide it and put them inside a `job install oneof ...`
if one of the providers is also marked for ERASE due to installonly
limit libsolv might decide to reinstall it.

To make sure it doesn't happen mark the available package also as ERASE.
