Support @profile package set for bug #532224
Add support for a new @profile set which allows the profile to pull
in additional packages that do not belong to the @system set.
The motivation to have @profile separate from @system is that
@system packages may have incomplete dependency specifications
(due to long-standing Gentoo policy), and incomplete dependency
specifications have deleterious effects on the ability of emerge
--jobs to parallelize builds. So, unlike @system, packages added to
@profile do not hurt emerge --jobs parallelization.
Packages are added to the @profile set in the same way that they are
added to the @system set, except that atoms in the @profile set are
not preceded with a '*' character. Also, the @profile package set
is only supported when 'profile-set' is listed in the layout.conf
profile-formats field of the containing repository.
