Use eshell for dpkg with readline interface #11

Closed dvzubarev closed 6 years ago

Dpkg provides many interfaces for interacting with an user. It is customized via DEBIAN_FRONTEND environment variable. The interface that is used by default doesn't work well with eshell. So the interface is switched to readline and added an option to disable user prompts entirely (helm-system-packages-dpkg-confirm-p).

I tested this PR on ubuntu 16.04 and debian 8.5.

Another nit: please prefix the commit message with the package manager, i.e.
