`zypper se' output to see packages from no effective repo ??? #246

I was solving a problem where a customer got installed a newer libgnutls30 (from newer SP); the name of the package is same but libgnutls.so.* requiring different library. It is it hard to see if a package is installed from current effective repo:

# querying a supportconfig
$ ag -G rpm --nofilename --nonumber --nocolor libgnutls
libgnutls30                         SUSE Linux Enterprise 15            3.8.3-150600.4.3.1
libgnutls30-32bit                   SUSE Linux Enterprise 15            3.6.7-150200.14.31.1

As you can see, there's no repo name; plus, we don't put really an SP identifier into RPM release tag; see here the list of packages on 15 SP3:

jb153qb02:~ # rpm -qa --queryformat "%-35{NAME} %-35{DISTRIBUTION} %{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\n" | sort -k 1,2 -t " " -i | grep -- -150 | grep -i 'sl.*release'

Thus, it might be good to have something like this in our supportconfig:

jb153qb02:~ # zypper --no-refresh se -s -i '*' | grep 'System Packages'
i+ | graphviz-gnome                                        | package | 2.40.1-6.12.1                                            | x86_64 | (System Packages)
i  | libgnutls30                                           | package | 3.8.3-150600.4.3.1                                       | x86_64 | (System Packages)
i  | release-notes-sles                                    | package | 15.3.20230301-150300.3.32.1                              | noarch | (System Packages)

An example:

# hack to install newer libgnutls30
jb153qb02:~ # rpm --nodeps -e libgnutls30
jb153qb02:~ # rpm --nodeps -ihvp /tmp/libgnutls30-3.8.3-150600.4.3.1.x86_64.rpm
