Feature request: allow passing of additional arguments to apt-get update (in dumb_update)

[tfogwill]

Sometimes it is useful to be able to pass additional arguments to apt-get update (e.g. to handle bad proxies). It would be useful, for code using the API, to be able to pass these to dumb_update.

Hi @tfogwill and thanks for the suggestion, it makes sense.

I merged #4 but later decided to change the code so that dumb_update() and smart_update() accept zero or more positional arguments to pass to apt-get update (this feels more elegant to me than passing a list, see the changes in 2cbcaa2).

Release 5.0 was just uploaded to PyPI and contains these changes.
