ENH(DAG): NEW SOLVER

+ Pruning behaves correctly also when outputs given;
  this happens by breaking incoming provide-links
  to any given intermedediate inputs.
+ Unsatisfied detection now includes those without outputs
  due to broken links (above).
+ Remove some uneeded "glue" from unsatisfied-detection code,
  leftover from previous compile() refactoring.
+ Renamed satisfiable --> satisfied.
+ Improved unknown output requested raise-message.
+ x2 TCs, in yahoo#24 and 1st in yahoo#25 now PASS.
- 2x TCs in yahoo#25 still FAIL, and need "Pinning" of given-inputs
  (the operation MUST and MUST NOT run in these cases).
