portage: drop usage of gentoolkit, add knobs for --with-bdeps, --backtrack (#5349)

* portage: drop dependency on gentoolkit (provides equery)

Portage installs a Python module, which is available anywhere that
Portage itself is available. We can use that instead of calling a
shell command.

* portage: add knob for emerge's --backtrack flag

Signed-off-by: John Helmert III <ajak@gentoo.org>

* portage: add knob for portage's --with-bdeps option

Also, this option does not accept "True" like other options. Instead,
it only uses 'y' and 'n', so parse booleans properly into these chars.

Signed-off-by: John Helmert III <ajak@gentoo.org>

* Add changelog entry for #5349
