[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Add popt to Requires. (#940)

[Panu Matilainen]

To elaborate a bit, the reason this bumps popt version dependency to 1.16 is that older versions did not *have* the pkgconfig file, and so cannot satisfy the dependency. The rpm.pc was added long before popt added its own, which is the main reason it's not there now.

Expressing that dependency after 20+ years of existence is not an urgent issue and is not enough of a reason in itself to bump the version dependency. There are other features there that we could use, but none of them seem important enough to justify the dependency version bump alone.
