Packages previously automatically added a replacemnet on their own package name so that they can easily replace virtual packages providing that same package name. This causes some unexpected behaviour where util-linux added to hostmakedepends in xbps-src will automatically replace chroot-util-linux and destroy the build chroot doing that. In general this might have been a bit more useful previously before alternatives allowed to install some virtual packages in parallel.

The test is changed to test wheter explict self replacement works.
