[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Mark man pages with RPMFILE_MAN and info pages with RPMFILE_INFO (#1404)

[Panu Matilainen]

Sorry but no: a bitfield does not scale for classifying individual file formats, and that's not what the virtual file attributes are for. 

A `file` magic string is attached to most files (RPMTAG_FILECLASS extension) which can be used for further identification, but it's not terribly reliable as the libmagic strings evolve over time. MIME classification should be more usable when we get that done (#1096)
