Bug #5157

Devise approach for when patching should occur when changes occur via the module-manager.

Description
Right now, if you change to a suite through the module manager, it is listed as not being patchable. This might be desirable behavior. Need to devise changes so that patching is possible after changes with the module manager.
I have a solution that is good enough for 2.1. The default is that suites are patched. This default can be changed with some work.
Re-targeting any further work on this to 2.2 or later.
I think our current approach is adequate. The assumption is that when a user selects a patch, they are interested in be prompted for upgrades. If this is not the case, they can uncheck "Automatically check for patches." Given ultimate control in the user over whether patches are checked for or not, having a consistent meaning where suites are checked as long as this check box is checked would be simplest for users to understand.
Closing this bug.
