Update Status field values handling

Remove long obsolete (hold, hold-reinstreq, removal-failed) or just
wrong (post-inst-failed vs postinst-failed) values, that have been
autoconverted by dpkg at run-time to their new equivalents, so there
should not be any such instance in any recent system (removal-failed
since dpkg 1.1.4 in Apr 1996, hold and hold-reinstreq since dpkg
1.2.0 in May 1996). dpkg even stopped doing the mapping in 1.15.4
and 1.15.8 respectively.

At the same time sort the list in the same order as they appear in
the dpkg code.
