bin/find_dpkg_trigger_cycles.sh: ignore dependencies on Essential:yes packages
The implicit dependencies of all binary packages on all Essential:yes
packages cannot result in a trigger cycle for two reasons:
1. Policy §3.8 says "Since dpkg will not prevent upgrading of other packages
while an `essential' package is in an unconfigured state" which
implies that because triggers check the possibility to process or not
triggers based on normal dpkg dependency resolution, then essential does not
apply.
2. The trigger documentation in /usr/share/doc/dpkg-dev/triggers.txt.gz
does not mention Essential at all and when talking about dependency
satisfiability it only refers to Depends field.
