Speed-up search of incomplete solutions#1116

We now avoid earlier the solving of a dependency which has been already seen in the search branch. We also had a bug that was duplicating the search space with every extra dependency. That meant an exponential increase in time for every extra dependency. Fortunately, this only affected incomplete solutions. In practice there are no visible changes as the solutions found are ultimately the same.

Better pruning of the search space by discarding some branches earlier.

In practice there are no visible changes as the solutions found are ultimately the same. There are some tweaks to informative messages to give a bit more of context to the user and report times.
