[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RPM Translation subpackage(s) (#1276)

FWIW in openSUSE many packages have a "-lang" subpackage to contain all translations. Those packages in turn have automated provides that translate into a locale namespace for libsolv, eg. `rpm -q --provides bash-lang`:
```[...]
locale(bash:es)
```

That basically instructs libsolv to install `bash-lang` if `bash` is installed and the system is in Spanish.
https://github.com/openSUSE/rpm-config-SUSE/blob/master/fileattrs/locale.attr
https://github.com/openSUSE/rpm-config-SUSE/blob/master/scripts/locale.prov

That mechanism would still work if splitting would be fine grained to the level of one locale per package.
