Description:
if a user explicitely tries to pacman -S a package in IgnorePkg, then says no to the prompt, pacman will report an erroneous 'local database is up to date' as if -Syu was used.

Steps to reproduce:
add abook to IgnorePkg
execute pacman -S abook
say no
view the output:

$ sudo pacman -S abook
:: abook is in IgnorePkg/IgnoreGroup. Install anyway? [Y/n] n
warning: skipping target: abook
local database is up to date
$

What do you think about printing "There is nothing to do." in these NOOP cases (another example: -Ru needed_pkg)?

That is less informative with -Su, but it is more general (and results nicer source code).
