Software Update selects new activities by default

Description
If you run the Software Update tool in Sugar, it will automatically select every available bundle, regardless of whether it is currently installed or not. What it should do is only select bundles that can be upgraded. New bundles should be unticked. The user can manually select them if they want.
This is how update systems like yum and apt-get work — they separate the upgrade functionality from the install functionality.

This has been added from dx3ng51>= with a patch.
No closing, since this should be pushed upstream (together with the microformat based updater)

This problem can be solved using the feature "Optional activity updates"
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Optional_activity_updates
Also tracked at http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/383
This will allow us to provide repositories of optional activities that are easily installable. In the current scenario, anything we add to a repository (e.g. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/OLPCAU/10.1.3) is forced on the user unless they explicitly untick the item.
