An update that contains one feature and has three fixes can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for zypper, libzypp, libsolv, zypp-plugin fixes the following
issues:

Changes in zypper:

  * upgrade version to 1.14.94:
    * Fixed `bash-completion`:     zypper refresh now ignores repository priority lines.
    * Changes to support building against restructured libzypp in stack build (bsc#1230267)

Changes in libzypp:

  * upgrade version to 17.38.2:
    * Prepare a legacy /etc/zypp/zypp.conf to be installed on old distros. See the ZYPP.CONF(5) man page for details.
    * Fix runtime check for broken rpm --runposttrans (bsc#1257068)
  * upgrade version to 17.38.1:
    * Avoid libcurl-mini4 when building as it does not support ftp protocol.
    * Translation: updated .pot file.
  * upgrade version to 17.38.0:
    * zypp.conf: follow the UAPI configuration file specification (PED-14658) In short terms it means we will no longer ship an /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, but store our own defaults in /usr/etc/zypp/zypp.conf. The systems administrator may choose to keep a full copy in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf ignoring our config file settings completely, or the preferred way - to overwrite specific settings via /etc/zypp/zypp.conf.d/*.conf overlay files. See the ZYPP.CONF(5) man page for details.
    * cmake: correctly detect rpm6
    * Use 'zypp.tmp' as temp directory component to ease setting up SELinux policies (bsc#1249435)
    * zyppng: Update Provider to current MediaCurl2 download approach, drop Metalink

Changes in libsolv:

  * bump version to 0.7.35:
    * fixed rare crash in the handling of allowuninstall in combination with forcebest updates
    * new pool_satisfieddep_map feature to test if a set of packages satisfies a dependency

Changes in zypp-plugin:

  * upgrade version 0.6.6:
    * Fix link to libzypp plugins documentation: https://opensuse.github.io/libzypp/zypp-plugins.html
