Allow grouping/filtering packages in a distro #4

Description

Not all packages are equal. (or maybe some are more equal than others?)

Some are part of the initial group installed to populate a build root in Koji/mock, for example.

It would be interesting to be able to view these packages separately.

Right now, that would be doable by tagging these packages with a special tag, and creating a distro just for this tag.

It's a bit overkill, but it works, and this approach generally makes uptrack very flexible to track many different things.

One thing which could be interesting is to add a "build group" attribute to the distros, which would contain the corresponding group in Koji.

Then on the listing pages, these packages could be shown separately (e.g at the top, in their own section).

This would be nice for the specific case of the buildroot packages, but would not solve anything for other cases, though, unless we start adding tons of stuff to the distro.

I can't think of another use case though, so maybe for now that would be a satisfying solution, and other cases can still do the "flexible but more work" solution described above.
