[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RPMTAG_OPENPGP returns legacy non-header signatures via "extension" code (Issue #4137)

OK, so, this behavior is actually documented, just under the extensions section of tags.md. I suppose in that sense it can't be considered a bug.

However, it is kind of an annoying inconsistency.

It would have been nice if the EXT returned OPENPGP OR, if not present, RSAHEADER / DSAHEADER. That way with one tag you can get "the header signature(s)" whether V4 or V6, and the behavior is consistent between EXT and not-EXT, and still simplifies things.

But w/ the mixing w/ legacy signatures, which are not interesting to my case, I can't rely on this, because I have no idea which type of signature is which, so to actually use them I need to go back to the source and look at OPENPGP, RSAHEADER, and DSAHEADER.
