[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Ignore EPERM when setting IMA signature xattr (PR #3516)

This lets installations succeed even if the ima plugin happens to be installed in a container, where IMA isn't supported. We don't know it failure was because of a container so this is far from ideal, but failing an install just because some package dragged in the ima plugin as a dependency is worse.

Counter-intuitively, the test verifies that the IMA xattr didn't get installed because that's the expected result, when inside a container.
 
Fixes: #3234

The first commits are tweaks to a couple of small issues I ran into when looking at this.
