I added 'rpmxdb', a meta database that can manage multiple sub-databases.
I changed the rpmidx code so that can can work both with files and
with rpmxdb.

The rpmxdb needs a bit of testing and improving (it doesn't shrink the
file yet if there's much free space), but it seems to work well and
it also is not slower than the file based code.

Cheers,
