pmb.chroot.apk.packages_split_to_add_del: new func (MR 2185)

Make the code easier to read by moving split_to_add_del() to a separate
function and do some related refactoring. A future patch will use it
twice in install().

Move "arch = ..." to the top of the function while at it, since it's
needed later in the function in 2 places and is not needed for figuring
out packages_with_depends, to_add and to_del.

Remove "# Add depends to packages" because it's obvious from the
packages_with_depends variable name, and getting to_add/to_del is a
different action that stood under the same comment.
