    Respect DPkg::Options when calling dpkg to recover failed installs

    Usually we use APT to call dpkg, which handles all sorts of nice
    option parsing. However, if an install run fails then we to call
    'dpkg --configure -a' ourselves to see if this fixes the problem.

    APT passes various options to dpkg, so we should also.

    * src/generic/apt/download_install_manager.cc:
      - pass DPkg::Options when invoking dpkg. LP: #257279
