[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Generate rpmtag.h from a declarative format, not the other way around (Issue #3792)

[Panu Matilainen]

pmatilai created an issue (rpm-software-management/rpm#3792)

Every now and then we run into the haphazard way tags and their type are defined in rpmtag.h, and scraped and transformed into C with awk - such as
- limited amount of information can be supplied
- odd limitations to tag names and other syntaxes that can be used in that file
- odd breakages every now and then

The situation needs to be turned upside down: we need a format with strict parsing from which the list of tags in rpmtag.h is generated from. Originally mentioned as a potential part of #3146 but this is a separate task.
