This patch introduces the ability to pick a different pacman command to
run when searching for installed packages and installing the meta-package.
This is mainly useful for using aur helpers.
The option to provide an alternative pacman command is -p or --pacman,
followed by the command name or its path.
With the use of aur helpers in mind, it also adds the following options:
- --not-as-root: Run installation command as unpriviledged user
- --depends-first: Run a separate instance of pacman (or the
provided alternative) to install the dependencies before
installing the meta-package itself.

I think it's a bit cumbersome to actually use these with my usual aur helpers (paru and yay), since I need to provide all three of these options every time. But I figured having them separate might be better, since it wouldn't be situation-specific.
Also, I'm not that well versed in BASH, so the code may not be the best. Please do tell me where it can be improved.
