Description
Just as a point of information, the `--target` option to pip doesn't work with `--upgrade`, so `piploc -U` won't work as expected.
Demonstration:
```
>py -m pip install -t xxx wheel==0.30.0
Collecting wheel==0.30.0

Research direction
Start by reproducing the two pip commands in the issue and compare them with piploc -U behavior. Trace how piploc handles the upgrade option and target directory; done means upgrading removes or replaces the old package metadata rather than leaving both wheel-0.30.0 and wheel-0.33.1 installed.
