[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Use newline as a delimiter to avoid xargs messing up file names with … (#765)

[Panu Matilainen]

It does fix the case of quotes, but technically a newline is a legitimate character in file names too, even if even very rare. Why not use -print0 / -0 which eliminates the problem once and for all? Even xargs manual suggests that:

Even "file" supports the null-terminated string syntax, for a reason.
