<install-dependencies> feature is forced to "on" in package.install

Description

Pretty simple bug, or at least I think it is. The <install-dependencies> feature is forced to "on" in package.install with no rationale for why this is so. It makes sense to default to "on" but I'd like to be able to override it.

Here's the code I used to fixed it in package.jam (in addition to removing the <install-dependencies>on requirement a little further down):

local install-dependencies

[ property.select <install-dependencies> : $(requirements) ] ;

install-dependencies ?= on ; requirements = [ property.change $(requirements) : <install-dependencies> ] ;
