[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Handle disttag (#589)

[wladmis]

> @wladmis What do you mean by "build matching"? I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here...

It may be more clear by example. As there are different builds of the same NEVR, there can be situation that two (or more) different builds can be simultaneously installed in the system. It's not a normal situation, but quite real when for some reason system upgrade breaks. And there are two different foo-1.0-1 with disttag1 and disttag2. `rpm` should be able to handle this and there should be a way to tell what build we what to erase. For example:

    rpm -e foo-1.0-1/disttag1
or this way in depend what format rpm will use:

    rpm -e foo at disttag1-1.0-1

PR #594 uses first variant.
