Add a "recommended packages" type of thing to oppm

basically after installing a package, you would get asked if you want to install other packages that the package you just installed recommends. Something like

Do you want to install bla too? [Y/n]:

I don't like the idea of package advertisement (This basically is advertisement). It reminds me of a certain annoying thing.

Not like "omg pöease update GoodProgram to the next version, click here to get 1000000 toolbars and your homepage permanantly set to http://thisis.abaddomainname.really ", more like "thanks for installing SomeProgram, i recommend you to try AddonForSomeProgram"

I still don't like the idea, it's pretty much unnecessary since you can put any program recommendation into the "notes" section of your programs.cfg.

When the notes will be shown?

When someone types 'oppm info ', it will show name, authors, description and notes. This way a person is not forced to read stuff they aren't interested in.
