The previous version of my regexp did not take into account packages
such as 'p5-Perl-Tidy' or 'p5-Test-Output', so use a greedy match up to
the last occurrance of '-' for matching the package. This regex has
been extensively tested using all packages as provided by pkgsrc-2016Q1[1].

- make path to pkgin a global and stop passing it around; it's not going
to change while ansible is running
- add support for several new options:
* upgrade
* full_upgrade
* force
* clean
- allow for update_cache to be run in the same task as upgrading/installing
packages instead of needing a separate task for that
Some do not use the json module directly so don't need import json.
Some needed to fallback to simplejson with no traceback if neither was installed
Fixes#1298
pkgin searches for packages such as 'emacs' can return multiple matches,
the first of which is not guaranteed to match. So, iterate through
found packages until we have an appropriate match. Should we *not* find
a match, then return False indicating match failure.
* Add support for check mode
* Use "pkgin search" to guarantee 0 or 1 result
* Edit documentation for style, new feature, etc.
* General refactoring
* Lay some groundwork for future support of "state=latest"
