  1. hawkey.subject: get_best_selectors only obsoleters of latest

    In situation where a package exists in multiple versions and some older
    version is being obsoleted, any of obsoleters was considered a valid
    solution.
    
    The result could be really misleading. For example let's have this package set:
    
    systemd-udev-1.0
    
    systemd-udev-2.0
    Obsoletes: systemd-udev < 2
    
    systemd-boot-unsigned-2.0
    Obsoletes: systemd-udev < 2
    
    In this case `dnf install systemd-udev` may lead to installation of
    systemd-boot-unsigned which is probably not what the user expected. The
    reason is the split in the upgrade-path created by obsolete and both
    branches - systemd-udev-2.0 and systemd-boot-unsigned-2.0 are considered
    valid.
    
    With this patch install command takes into account only obsoleters of
    the best version of the package so the `dnf install systemd-udev`
    results in correct installation of systemd-udev-2.0 package.
