[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: optionally remove modified configuration too on package removal (#966)

[Panu Matilainen]

Originally requested as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=963141

Rpm can leave quite some trail of leftover configurations when installing and removing packages. We should support optionally removing all config files on removal, whether modified or not, --purge seems as good as a name as any.

The catch is that the fsm only understands 1:1 file association where configs can leave multiple variants around over time, and this is exposed in the plugin API. Probably the leftoevers just need to be nuked without further ado and report the "active" state in the API.
