#55546: Install dependencies without asking

-------------------------+-------------------
 This change in behavior constantly annoys me.  I run an install, leave the
 computer unattended for a while, and come back to find it didn't actually
 install because it was waiting for me to confirm.  I want an option to
 assume that I meant it when I said `port install foo`.

 The `-R` option that only applies to `upgrade` looks like the closest
 existing option; I think it would be ok to have `install -R` also install
 dependencies without asking.  If the different directions of having the
 same option mean "upgrade with dependents" and "install with dependencies"
 might be confusing, maybe `-r`.  I really don't care what the option is,
 only what it does.
