 Add a retry/continue option.

 Updating the system with a flakey internet connection is difficult. One
 can download most of the files and have the operation aborted by a
 connection issue, requiring a complete re-start of the update process re-
 downloading files. SoftwareUpdater and pkgman update need to allow one to
 retry the last file and continue the update from that point. This will
 prevent the need to re-download files and allow the process to complete.
