[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Expose _RPMVSF_NOSIGNATURES and _RPMVSF_NODIGESTS (#440)

[Jeff Johnson]

Sure it's easy to remove an underscore to adapt to picky pylint.

Here are several reasons for not doing so:

1) this is ancient legacy code copied from yum, whose devels wished speed and considered header digest/signature checking slow. In fact, disabling file digests is far more expensive. Been there forever too.

2) there is already means to set a macro to change the default vsf policy. That has been there forever too, set before creating a transaction.

3) signature/digest verification needs to be per-system (or per-chroot, per-vm), not per-application. There is also no attempt in the mock code to make the policy configurable, the policy values are hard wired.
