[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Please add documentation explaining how to use alternate libraries from the test suite (Issue #3199)

[Neal H. Walfield]

**Describe the bug**

While working on `rpm-sequoia`, I want to run the `rpm` test suite against my version of `librpm_sequoia.so`.  `make tree` appears to take the `librpm-sequoia` library from the root file system even though I've configured it (using `PKG_CONFIG_PATH`) to look elsewhere.

**To Reproduce**

First, observe that `cmake` only works when I've set `PKG_CONFIG_PATH`, because I haven't installed `rpm-sequoia-devel`.

```
neal at fedora:~/rpm$ rm -rf _build/
neal at fedora:~/rpm$ mkdir _build
neal at fedora:~/rpm$ cd _build/
neal at fedora:~/rpm/_build$ cmake -DENABLE_PYTHON=OFF ..
-- Checking for module 'rpm-sequoia>=1.4.0'
--   Package 'rpm-sequoia', required by 'virtual:world', not found
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:619 (message):
  The following required packages were not found:

   - rpm-sequoia>=1.4.0

Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:841 (_pkg_check_modules_internal)
  rpmio/CMakeLists.txt:21 (pkg_check_modules)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
neal at fedora:~/rpm/_build$ cd ..
neal at fedora:~/rpm$ rm -rf _build/
neal at fedora:~/rpm$ mkdir _build
neal at fedora:~/rpm$ cd _build/
neal at fedora:~/rpm/_build$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/rpm-sequoia/target/release
neal at fedora:~/rpm/_build$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/rpm-sequoia/target/release
neal at fedora:~/rpm/_build$ cmake -DENABLE_PYTHON=OFF ..
...
-- Generating done (0.0s)
-- Build files have been written to: /home/neal/rpm/_build
...

Now I run the test suite:

```
neal at fedora:~/rpm/_build$ make && make check
ERROR: 448 tests were run,
7 failed (5 expected failures).
76 tests were skipped.
## ------------------------- ##
## rpmtests.log was created. ##
## ------------------------- ##

Please send `rpmtests.log' and all information you think might help:

   To: <http://rpm.org>
   Subject: [rpm 5.99.90] rpmtests: 90 207 failed

You may investigate any problem if you feel able to do so, in which
case the test suite provides a good starting point.  Its output may
be found below `rpmtests.dir'.

```

The above is complaining about the missing `_pgpPubkeyMerge` symbol.  So it looks like it is picking up the system `librpm_sequoia.so` and not the one configured via `pkg-config`:

```
neal at fedora:~/rpm/_build$ objdump -T $HOME/rpm-sequoia/target/release/librpm_sequoia.so.1  | grep pgpPubkeyMerge
0000000000062e90 g    DF .text  00000000000005d7  Base        _pgpPubkeyMerge
neal at fedora:~/rpm/_build$ objdump -T /usr/lib64/librpm_sequoia.so.1  | grep pgpPubkeyMerge
```


**Expected behavior**

I expect to be able to use an alternate library.

**Environment**

```
neal at fedora:~/rpm/_build$ git log -n 1

**Additional context**

Thanks for any help.
