[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: support install/upgrade/erase in the same transaction from the cli (#1125)

[Panu Matilainen]

So the thing is, `-i/-e/-U` are untouchable because they don't take arguments, they define the mode which then uses the leftover arguments as its arguments, and none of that can be changed without breaking every script and documentation in existence.

Since they can't be changed, they need to be worked around, for example by adding entirely new switches like `--add-install <arg>` and `--add-erase <arg>` that can be arbitrarily mixed on the cli, and make `-i/-e/-U` internally use those. Unraveling `rpmInstall()` should be good fun :zany_face:
