Chef::Provider::Package::Yum#action_upgrade

Keep upgrades from trying to install an older candidate version. Can happen when a new
version is installed then removed from a repository, now the older available version
shows up as a viable install candidate.

Can be done in upgrade_package but an upgraded from->to log message slips out

Hacky - better overall solution? Custom compare in Package provider?
