[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Add a --salvagedb option to the rpmdb tool (#1042)

[Michael Schroeder]

This can be used to recover as much data as possibly from a terminally broken database. It is currently only supported for the 'ndb' database.

This method is currently hidden from the API by using a macro to select salvage mode. If it should be more exposed, we can add a rpmtsSalvageDB() method.
