[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Replace fakechroot with proper container technology (PR #2559)

[Michal Domonkos]

Since I already started describing the new architecture, here's a perhaps simpler outline of how it works now (`mktree` is wired into the `make`):

1) `mktree build`
  * builds a base OS tree
  * builds RPM natively and make installs it into the base OS tree
2) `mktree check`
  * runs `rpmtests` in a container (on top of the OS tree), e.g. with bwrap or podman (depending on the backend used)
    * test1
      * `run rpm ...` (runs "natively" in the container, shouldn't make destructive changes)
    * test2
      * `runroot rpm ...` (runs in a per-test bwrap container, this enables destructive changes)
      * `ls $RPMTEST`
    * ...
