Right (PatternContents() and friends)

No, it does not work that way. The list of packages user sees in the right 
panel is the same as in Case 1. Yes, we make complete solver run, and yes, 
dependent packages/patterns are marked for installation/update/deletion, but 
the list of 'related packages' in the right panel remains the same. The 
*only* difference is that their status changes. 
The user never sees the complete list of packages that will be installed once 
he/she selects a pattern in the right panel

So the resulting list is obtained via PatternContent::install_packages() in 
both cases.

The output of ncurses UI is identical - either you 'select' the pattern from 
the popup list, press 'OK' and see related pkgs in the main table (case 1), 
or you mark pattern for installation in the popup list (case 2), press 'OK' 
and see exactly the same list, only with updated status of the pkgs.

> So, Katerina which kind of view do you need ?

Ideally, I would need both :) because as I described above, current behaviour 
is a bit buggy as we get the same list in both cases (1 and 2) where we 
should get two different ones.
