binrepos.conf: Support "frozen" attribute
In order to allow consistent and reproducible dependency calculations
during mixed source and binary updates, add a "frozen" binrepos.conf
attribute which will freeze binrepo index updates and cause messsages
to indicate that the repo is frozen rather than up-to-date:
Local copy of remote index is frozen and will be used.
This should only be set temporarily in order to guarantee consistent
and reproducible dependency calculations for mixed binary and source
updates.
