Chef::Provider::Package#candidates_exist_for_all_forced_changes?

This looks for packages which have a new_version and a current_version, and they are
different (a "forced change") and for which there is no candidate.  This is an edge
condition that candidates_exist_for_all_uninstalled? does not catch since in this case
it is not uninstalled but must be installed anyway and no version exists.
