bug#36637: Package buffer should show where (which archive) a package is installed from |

It would be good if there was an indication in the "*Packages*" buffer of where
(what archive) you have installed a package from.
I have added both MELPA and MELPA Stable to `package-archives':
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/") t)
I sometimes install packages from gnu (ELPA), sometimes from melpa and sometimes
from melpa-stable.
The package "ivy" is available from all three archives. After installing the
package from gnu, when I run M-x package-list-packages, I see in the "*Package*"
buffer the following two entries (although not next to each other):
ivy 20190709.740 available melpa Incremental
Vertical completYon
ivy 0.11.0 installed Incremental
Vertical completYon
>From this, I can figure out that I have not installed it from melpa (its status
is "available"). But I cannot easily know if I installed it from gnu or from
melpa-stable, or if it's available from only one or from both of them.
In this case, the versions on melpa-stable and gnu matches. (Or, at least, the
version number does.) But this just happens to be the case here. Often, the
package does not even exist on gnu, and I wouldn't know that from the above.
It would be good if the second of the above two lines would be this instead:
ivy 0.11.0 installed gnu Incremental
Vertical completYon
It would be even better if the describe-package buffer would also would show the
same information.
Thanks,
