[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] rpmdsRpmlib has inconsistent arg usage (Issue #2112)

[Nick]

RHEL6:
```cpp
static rpmds baseDependencies = NULL;
if(baseDependencies == NULL) {
  rpmdsRpmlib(&baseDependencies, NULL); // returns 0
}
```

RHEL7 and up:
```cpp
static rpmds baseDependencies = NULL;
if(baseDependencies == NULL) {
  rpmdsRpmlib(&baseDependencies, NULL); // does not return 0
}
```

This is unexpected. However! If we flip the arguments, it works fine on RHEL7 and up:

```cpp
static rpmds baseDependencies = NULL;
if(baseDependencies == NULL) {
  rpmdsRpmlib(NULL, &baseDependencies); // returns 0
}
```

Why? The type of `rpmdsRpmlib` hasn't changed between now and then. The name of the args hasn't changed. Is the documentation wrong? What gives?
