What does this PR do?
The virtual module 'pkg' is heavily used by other states, like the
'pkg' state, so differences in the signature of public functions
can generate errors like:
TypeError: xxx() got an unexpected keyword argument 'yyy'
The fix is to add the parameter 'yyy' into all versions of the
function 'xxx()' in all the 'pkg' virtual modules, but this
approach is cumbersome and not very resilient, as any refactoring
on the public interface or in the pkg state module will break
again the already agreed contract.
This patch append **kwarg in most of the public methods on virtual
module pkg where it is missing, fixing the described issue and
making more easy the refactoring of the code.
Also do the same for 'lowpkg'
Tests written?
No, no change in behavior. Current tests are covering the refactoring.
