Calculate dependency gain achieved by excluding combinations of packages

1	pkgCombDependencyGain(pkg, depdf, maxNbr = 3L)

`pkg`	character, the name of the package for which we want to estimate the dependency gain
`depdf`	a tidy data frame with package dependency information obtained through the function `buildPkgDependencyDataFrame`
`maxNbr`	numeric, the maximal number of direct dependencies to leave out simultaneously

A data frame with three columns: ExclPackages (the excluded direct dependencies), NbrExcl (the number of excluded direct dependencies), DepGain (the dependency gain from excluding these direct dependencies)

depdf <- buildPkgDependencyDataFrame(
  dependencies=c("Depends", "Imports"), 
  repo=c("BioCsoft", "CRAN")
)
pcd <- pkgCombDependencyGain('GEOquery', depdf, maxNbr = 3L)
head(pcd[order(pcd$DepGain, decreasing = TRUE), ])
