rudder-pkg should fail installation is a dependency is missing
Description
Today, rudder-pkg install a package even if some of its dependencies are missing, and it prints a warning message.
This is in general not what we want, because nobody seems to read warning and people keep get stuck not knowing why the plugin does not work (for ex after #11115 correction).

This has been done because we have no generic way to install a package from shell.
We could implement this using ncf script, ncf knows how to do this.

We already check if the dependency if fullfilled or not, but we only display a warning message and install rpkg and run postint with success which leads to a broken plugin
The idea is to check dependencies before doing anything, and if not present, do not install the rpkg so the user has no problem
The user still has to install dependencies himself
