Fall back to packman if the command isn't recognised #130

It's lovely to be able to alias pacman=packer, but then you get shouted at if you try to -U or --force. I like it to fall back to pacman instead. Maybe you will too.

@keenerd are you accepting pull requests? There's a ton of impressive improvements (like this one) that would be great to have.

I am indeed accepting pull requests if they are 1) well written and 2) don't go against core principles. While this one is not poorly written, packer is not pacman. They are different programs that do different things. Aliasing pacman to packer puts way too much responsibility/stress on my both shoulders and a simple bash script, so this "feature" will never be supported.

If there is confusion about the acceptability of a feature, talk to me by email or IRC before hacking.
