Title: pip module improvements

- Do not silently ignore malformed pip requirements files.
- Properly reports changed when removing packages.
- "latest" i.e. --upgrade is *not* incompatible with requirements files.
- Less branchy, simpler logic.
- Removed pointless variable "initializations", Python doesn't need that.
Other code simplifications.
- Fun fact; pip install is (kind of) case insensitive, pip freeze is not.
So, 'sqlalchemy' will be reported as installed by install, but missing
by freeze. The package is properly named 'SQLAchemy'

And the perhaps controversial change and the one that led to finding /
fixing above issues...

Instead of adding command parameters 'index', and 'find', and 'mirrors',
and etc. Added 'extra_args' which are passed onto pip.

The use case for --index-url is having a private pypi repo, like
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/localshop, to which you publish private
packages. I'm sure most every pip option has a use case for someone.
extra_args handles all those. Can reserve ansible command parameters for
the most common.

Tested with pip 1.1.
