[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Add --nomanifests disabler (#437)

[Jeff Johnson]

RPM attempts to read CLI file arguments as a manifest if a header cannot be read from the file.

Since manifests are parsed free field, rpm behavior can become quite complex, particularly when ../../.. relative paths are parsed.

There's a slew of mostly unimportant issues (IMHO: manifests are a very minor unused feature in RPM) that can/will be discovered by fuzzing.

Hence there needs to be a means to disable manifest reading from the rpm CLI
