Support detecting invalid dependency resolutions on component selection
IFW could already previously detect circular and missing dependencies by
running a precheck calculation when building the component tree.
However, there can be also cases of where the user selection results in
unsolvable changes to components.
One such case was the erroneous possibility to uninstall a component
marked with ForcedInstallation, if any of its dependencies was checkable
and the user unselected it for uninstallation.
Add support for reacting to such errors in the component tree view,
displaying a message box about the invalid dependency resolvation error,
and blocking further navigation until the component selection passes
the dependency calculations.
Also attempt some refactoring the related code to simplify the different
call sequences resulting in recalculation of the components.
