[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Add a `HACKING` file (Issue #3867)

[Michal Domonkos]

dmnks created an issue (rpm-software-management/rpm#3867)

Hacking on RPM is pretty straightforward, just clone the repo and follow the instructions in `INSTALL` to compile it, then either run the binaries directly (perhaps with `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` and `PYTHONPATH` adjusted) or `make install` them into your system if you're brave enough.

That said, some people (me included) prefer to use a development container to do the building & running, in which case [Toolbox](https://containertoolbx.org/) is a fine choice and one that's now [supported](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/3857) by the test image, so we might as well document that workflow.
