[Done] Transition from aaa_elflibs to aaa_libraries.

This is not strictly a problem but could be in the future, and probably needs Dimitri's attention (which I am guessing it already has, but I post this just in case).
Since today (8 February), Slackware-Current renamed aaa_elflibs to aaa_libraries. The reason for such a rename is related to aaa_glibc-solibs, which is not part of Slackel anyway, so the change is basically pointless for us. Nevertheless, it can potentially be a problem in the future.
Currently, normal system upgrade keeps aaa_elflibs installed and aaa_libraries uninstalled. Attempting to manually install aaa_libraries is ok, but trying to uninstall aaa_elflibs is not, because that would also uninstall a ton of packages. This is clearly because of dependency resolution, which still refers to aaa_elflibs. So I guess all *,dep files must be changed. Now, I am not an expert, but I am guessing a simplefollowed by regenerating packages lists should suffice, but of course I am not sure. At any rate, Slackel users don't have to do anything, for now. Normal system update will work as it is.
