[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFC: permit erasures to be mixed into install/upgrade transactions (#475)

[Jeff Johnson]

While it is possible to specify both install and erase packages in the same transaction when using rpm libraries/bindings, there is no means to use the rpm CLI to do the same.

I would suggest using (or reserving) the following single leading character in CLI arguments:

* '@' use the contents as a manifest file

* '-' use as a package name to add an erase element to an install transaction

* '+' use as a package file name to add an install element to an erase transaction

* '=' (reserved for depsolver goal)
