Description
When calling upgrade, it may be handy to be able to have a switch that only allows for upgrades and ignores packages being requested that are not installed already.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the upgrade command and its package-selection flow to find where requested packages are switched from upgrade to install. Define the new --installed-packages-only behavior there, then verify that installed packages still upgrade while uninstalled requests are ignored.
