#14783: Notify user of held package transactions
-----------------------+------------------------------
Reporter: kallisti5 | Owner: nobody

Platform: All |
-----------------------+------------------------------
After running pkgman update, additional package transactions are held
until the next reboot. This isn't super obvious and means any additional
package changes aren't reflected on the running system.
Example:
* llvm7_clang installed
* system updated
* llvm7_clang uninstalled
* clang binary still present

All of the messages after the update report a success, but don't mention
the changes are being held.
Ideally, pkgman should report that "Warning: A pending system update has
occurred, these changes will not be available until after the next reboot"
or something similar.
We also need to figure out how to present the user with this info when the
change occurs via the UI.
