I just changed the way repositories are added.

Before, zypper probed the repositories in case the --type option was not 
given, and then always tried to give ZYpp a valid type.

However ZYpp also did some probing, so I removed all ZYpper related code. How 
does it work now?

- If type is given, the repository is added and the given type is used.
- If zypp.conf repo.add.probe is enabled, the repository is probed either type 
is given or not
- If type is not given the repository is probed no matter if repo.add.probe is 
off.
- if you want to avoid network access completely, always specify the type when 
adding and set repo.probe.url to 0
- if you want avoid network access when not needed, set repo.probe.url to off, 
then network will be accessed only if the repository type is unknown.
- If you want to always check,  set repo.probe.url to 1

Also, zypper autorefresh and enabled options are fixed so the priority is:
- what you specified in the command line
- the .repo file you are adding
- libzypp defaults
