Doc Text:	The "yum versionlock" plug-in now displays which packages are blocked when running the "yum update" command Previously, the "yum versionlock" plug-in, which is used to lock RPM packages, did not display any information about packages excluded from the update. Consequently, users were not warned that such packages will not be updated when running the "yum update" command. With this update, "yum versionlock" has been changed. The plug-in now prints a message about how many package updates are being excluded. In addition, the new "status" subcommand has been added to the plug-in. The "yum versionlock status" command prints the list of available package updates blocked by the plug-in.	Story Points:	---
