[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Add new signature headers for Post Quantum Signatures (Issue #3363)

[Panu Matilainen]

Having slept over it... If the multiple signature support in 2018 lacked direction and motivation, the simplified form as drafted out in the above by me & Simo makes so much sense today that it would be downright stupid not to do it:
- support for multiple signatures has generic benefits and use-cases
- puts a further layer of insulation between rpm and crypto, something we have been actively driving for a couple of years now
- adds provisions for PQC without us getting directly involved in it
- lines up nicely with the rpm v6 theme and timing
- most of it is already implemented

I'll spin off a separate ticket detailing that part. Dusting off the multisignature patch from #1050 and trimming off excess should be more than a one day job.
