[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Make RPM consistent with DNF (#1681)

[Jaroslav Mracek]

RPM and DNF have several differences in CLI and API. In long term it will be nice to improve consistency between similar or related components. As an example I can use handling of epoch. See `rpm -q dnf` and `dnf repoquery dnf`. Also the output for `--queryformat="%{epoch}"` differs. DNF shows `0` and RPM `(none)`.

API differs in `evr` handling too. DNF skips `0` epoch, but rpm not. I am sure that there are more examples of inconsistency.

Both component are important for many users and we can make their life better when we will improve the consistency.
