[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Limit maximum array size in the header to about one million (PR #1858)

[Panu Matilainen]

This is mainly to place *some* limit on number of files a package may
have. It's unlikely that rpm scales to million files in a package but
that much may actually work, whereas closer to int32 limits we run into
all manner of issues with internal types mismatching and whatnot.
