[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Use a pre-built package for the hardlink test for reproducability (#1723)

[Panu Matilainen]

Besides rpm version string length, the file offsets also depend on at least libmagic version and probably something else I'm missing now, this is just too fragile to be useful. Use a pre-built package to avoid delaying 4.17 beta just because of such a dumb thing, figure out something better later (pre-built is not ideal as inevitably the pre-built will need to be re-built too and that gets difficult sometimes)

Revert yesterdays attempt to fix this, it's not enough.
