When zef depends cannot resolve a missing dependency, it suggests using --exclude to skip that dependency. But zef depends doesn't accept the --exclude flag. For example:

$ zef depends Red
> Failed to resolve some missing dependencies (use e.g. --exclude="pq" to skip)
$ zef depends Red --exclude="pq:ver<5>:from<native>"
> Usage:
>   zef [--depends] [--test-depends] [--build-depends] depends <identity> -- View dependencies of a distribution

zef depends should either respect the --exclude flag or shouldn't suggest using it.

Improve force-resolve behavior to accomodate zef depends ...

Previously e.g. `zef depends Red` could fail for users that did
not have the postgres native dependency installed. However, for
that specific command it shouldn't matter if it can't resolve a
native dependency because we don't look up transitive dependencies
for them. Instead we could just list the native dependency and
allow zef to continue finding other dependencies.

Fixes #517
