[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Rust bindings for rpmlib (#429)

[Panu Matilainen]

@tarcieri , headers exist outside database iterators and such, and you really dont want to require keeping potentially huge headers (tens of megabytes possibly) in memory just in order to remember, say, a name of a package. Worse, any data addition to a header can make the data retrieved with HEADERGET_MINMEM invalid behind your back. HEADERGET_MINMEM should really be considered a historical leftover and an rpm internal thing at best, it's *not* something you want to build anything on.
