* guix/scripts/refresh.scm (list-updaters-and-exit): Do not assume updater
predicates are disjoint.  Track covered packages directly.
---
Hello Guix,

Some of our packages are covered by more than one of our updaters:

scheme@(guile-user)> ,use(gnu packages)(guix packages)(guix upstream)
scheme@(guile-user)> ,use(srfi srfi-1)(srfi srfi-26)
scheme@(guile-user)> (define updaters (force (@@ (guix upstream) %updaters)))
scheme@(guile-user)> (define predicates (map upstream-updater-predicate updaters))
scheme@(guile-user)> (define doubles
  (fold-packages
    (lambda (pkg result)
      (if (> (count (cut <> pkg) predicates) 1)
         (cons pkg result)
       result))
    '()))
scheme@(guile-user)> (length doubles)
$1 = 469
scheme@(guile-user)> (map package-name doubles)
$2 = ("agda" "emacs-agda2-mode" "fribidi" "raincat" "ghc-tasty-quickcheck" ... "ghc-hxt")

It seams mostly packages covered by both the "hackage" and "stackage"
updaters.  And Fribidi is a GNU package but hosted on github.

Currently this leads to double-counting while computing total package
coverage and a too optimistic result (by about 5.4%).

The below patch fixes it by tracking the (un)covered packages directly.
