allow-newer in project file package stanza #4360

Description

@bgamari

While updating my projects for, e.g. a new compiler, I often find it necessary to vendorize libraries while waiting for upstream to merge bound bump changes. This is a fair amount of work, but I find it more satisfying than the alternative of just accumulating entries in the global allow-newer list.

What I would really like is a way to easily lift a given bound in particular package from within a project file. For instance,

package safecopy
    allow-newer: vector
