[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Support imports to fs keyring too (PR #1962)

Just dropping a file into a `%_keyringpath` in /usr would produce something that cannot be verified. So keys in /usr would actually have to be installed as payload of an rpm package.

Panu raised the question why I didn't just implement the import when I filed the pr to block import for the fs based keyring. Above is the context I had in mind (aka dreams of the future).

openSUSE moved the rpmdb as is to /usr too to fix snapshot and rollback. That's ok but not the last word on the subject as other use cases come in IMO :-)
