+      exclude obsolete states from report

no more circular-dependency :-)
known_circular_depends can be removed from the config

(the obsolete states are still in the list because removing them would
break the history of counts.txt, but they are not used for any package)

That's a large piece of work, too.
If you merge my branch first, you can drop circular-depends-*.txt from
piatti.git and don't have to handle them for the master-slave case.
