Add a new --deselect action which removes atoms from the world file. This
action is implied by uninstall actions, including --depclean, --prune and --unmerge. Use --deselect=n in order to prevent uninstall actions from removing atoms from the world file. This solves bug #259994 and bug #265206. (trunk r13363) svn path=/main/branches/2.1.6/; revision=13519
