Remove source/binary only options

I think the -b and -s options were quite useful to select if archives
should be used or the software should be built from source. How do you
think this will work in the future?

The way this branch will work is that the distinction between archives and what's installed will be gone. In the case of -b, that option won't make sense anymore since "installed" is having the image file (archive as called now) available, so you just have to activate the right one. For - s, it's like now if you disable archive mode, just uninstall the port to build from
source.

Is there an explanation somewhere about this branch, what goals you're trying to accomplish, etc.? Is there a ticket or a wiki page?
