[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Verify tags in Packages (Issue #3146)

[Florian Festi]

Right now neither rpmbuild nor rpm verify that all the necessary tags are in a package and they have the right content/length.

We need the means to define which tags are necessary for binary and source packages, which tags need to have the same number of entry or need to go together, if present. While we can't enforce this too strict for v4 packages we can and should use strict rules for the future v6 packages.

This will probably need to replace the current rpmtags.h to have a proper format for the tag declaration. The rpmtag.h should probably then be generated from that (not the other way round as it the case currently with `gentagtbl.sh` and `tagtbl.inc`).
