[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] OpenPGP Backend based on Sequoia (Issue #1978)

[Panu Matilainen]

While Linux is the main use-case of course, rpm is used in all manner of environments where Rust availability is not at all given, and Rust is still a rather volatile element from rpm point of view at this point in time. Rpm is an old dinosaur which likes its feet firmly on ground :smile: Also, having central piece of rpm implemented in another language entirely introduces build and debugging complexities, etc.

But this is all besides the point in this ticket. This ticket is about adding an OpenPGP backend based on Sequoia, with an understanding that the backend will be compile-time switchable. Any other "exit strategy" discussion belongs to #1935. Thanks.
