RPM Support

[wolfv]

I've started some discussions on Github and elsewhere regarding RPM support. The listed projects are all doing something with RPMs in Rust.

To track them, I am linking them here:

• https://codeberg.org/uncomfyhalomacro/rypper/issues/14
• rpm-rs/rpm#176
• Richterrettich/rpm-rs#54

Some features that resolvo does not do yet:

• No notion of a package that provides something
• No notion of suggests or recommends - this would likely need an additional "loop" around the resolution
• No notion of obsoletes (for renames of packages) – this can probably be implemented with some additional logic

RPM Libraries in the Rust ecosystem:

• https://github.com/dralley/rpmrepo_metadata/
• https://github.com/rpm-rs/rpm/
• https://github.com/Richterrettich/rpm-rs/

We have a prototype! https://github.com/prefix-dev/resolvo-rpm
