/// A back-tracking depth-first solver. Attempts to find the best solution for
/// a root package's transitive dependency graph, where a "solution" is a set
/// of concrete package versions. A valid solution will select concrete
/// versions for every package reached from the root package's dependency graph,
/// and each of those packages will fit the version constraints placed on it.
///
/// The solver builds up a solution incrementally by traversing the dependency
/// graph starting at the root package. When it reaches a new package, it gets
/// the set of versions that meet the current constraint placed on it. It
/// *speculatively* selects one version from that set and adds it to the
/// current solution and then proceeds. If it fully traverses the dependency
/// graph, the solution is valid and it stops.
///
/// If it reaches an error because:
///
/// - A new dependency is placed on a package that's already been selected in
///   the solution and the selected version doesn't match the new constraint.
///
/// - There are no versions available that meet the constraint placed on a
///   package.
///
/// - etc.
///
/// then the current solution is invalid. It will then backtrack to the most
/// recent speculative version choice and try the next one. That becomes the
/// new in-progress solution and it tries to proceed from there. It will keep
/// doing this, traversing and then backtracking when it meets a failure until
/// a valid solution has been found or until all possible options for all
/// speculative choices have been exhausted.
