[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] WIP/RFE: Hint to users to use ostree/rpm-ostree if we get EROFS (#320)

[Colin Walters]

Hi @herrold - I read your comment a few times and I'm confused...isn't that what my patch is doing?

BTW, it's easy to try an rpm-ostree based system, see https://getfedora.org/atomic/ and https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config for example.  One thing I'd note though is that the rpm database is read-only from the point of view of everything *except* rpm-ostree - we support both [package layering](https://www.projectatomic.io/blog/2016/07/hacking-and-extending-atomic-host/) and [live package layering](http://www.projectatomic.io/blog/2017/06/rpm-ostree-v2017.6-released/).  But even when doing live changes, the system still appears read-only to everything else due to some underlying ostree magic.
