Support re-deploy of the same package when packageversion=false

we found out after the removal of a package from the cluster, there is no easy way to add such package back to rs.

we should support add a package back if it has the same checksum, otherwise this will be an operational risk for us.

    Xibei,

    Any reason to remove a package and then add it back later?

    We block re-adding non-versioned packages since it will introduce and inconsistency - we don't know if the package changed or not and have no way to properly sync it if the package remains on the compute host after deletion.

    We do not maintain a checksum, and adding a checksum will break compatibility. We only maintain package size, so the possible solution is to only permit re-add if the package size does not change based on the re-add decision on package size, comments?

    Regards, Dennis
