[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Reject %pretrans scripts that are not lua (#714)

[Panu Matilainen]

Well, technically it's perfectly okay to have a package that's only installable after the OS installation, not all packages live in repositories and get installed as a part of system installation. We also do handle this correctly for almost a decade - such a package fails cleanly pre-transaction dependency check if part of initial install but succeeds in a later transaction (commit c0eb82dd1f2102f2b4899c1e7232086c41d2e805).

In addition, many depsolvers do multiple smaller transactions instead of one big mutha and this is not an issue for them. /me thinks it'd be wrong to reject, but a warning might be in order.
