[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Rpm 4.18.0 beta1 release (PR #2110)

[Panu Matilainen]

I initially thought we'd accelerate the release cycle this time around and jump straight to rc from the alpha as there's nothing to put into the beta. But as I started putting this together it became quite clear there's easily enough fixes and even minor new features to warrant sticking to the original plan, which of course has the benefit of more reliable release cycle as well.
