[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: make rpm object ref counting atomic (#430)

The ref counting for rpm objects needs to become atomic to avoid Heisenbug's when attempting use of rpm objects in multithreaded environments.

Yes the window doing increment/decrement is quite tiny, but is still not correct.

There are of course other issues serializing RW access to object internals if/when needed.
