[Yum] [PATCH] simplePkgList performance

I was doing some profiling runs of yum, pirut and pup and noticed that 
simplePkgList consumes a lot of time because when self.pkglist is tested 
for being already populated, an empty list is considered as false. In my 
case the "development-source" repo was empty so the simplePkgList 
rebuilt the list instead of using the cache every time __len__ was called.

Yum update (185 packages not to up date but quit before install)
from:   0m56.804s
to:     0m24.573s

Pirut load time:
from:   0m20.915s
to:     0m4.576s
