[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Pick a new string to be used for PAYLOADFORMAT, and support it properly (Issue #2447)

[Daniel Alley]

RPMs produced since 4.12 use a [stripped down payload format](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/2433) based on CPIO, but not compatible with CPIO.

However this isn't currently reflected by the handling of the `PAYLOADFORMAT` tag, which always writes `cpio`.

This new value (whatever it is) should also be added to the support checking logic:
