[Rd] new.packages() problem (PR#8185)

new.packages() reports on packages which are installed as well as not installed,
for packages installed using install.packages() and the argument
installWithVers=TRUE

This contrasts with reporting only on uninstalled packages (correct behavior)
for packages installed using install.packages() and the argument
installWithVers=FALSE.

i.e. 

install.packages(new.packages(),installWithVers=TRUE)   run again and again will
keep installing the same packages.

install.packages(new.packages())  run again and again will only install the
packages once.

[Rd] new.packages() reports on packages installed with the install.packages option installWithVers=TRUE (PR#8237)

(perhaps the search mechanism of the bugtracker is broken, I can't find my old
bug report -- but it's still broken)

new.packages() is only supposed to report on packages which are not installed.

When the packages are installed with installWithVers=TRUE, new.packages()
reports on installed packages.  This is a bug.
