So we need to make the patch dependency information richer to cover
such situations.

Patches could get a 'vendor' string and only apply to packages with a
matching vendor.

Then one has three possibilities

1. All packages referenced by the patch have the same vendor as the
   patch (normal situation)
   -> patch is valid and should be considered

2. No package referenced by the patch has the same vendor as the
   patch (all packages from different vendor)
   -> patch is invalid and must not be considered

3. Some packages referenced by the patch have the same vendor as the
   patch and some packages don't (vendor mix)
   -> user must decide
