[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] syslog plugin (and maybe others) segfaults in tsm_pre when rpmtsRootDir() is NULL (Issue #4320)

Yes I saw the note, but as mentioned one of these outcomes would still be preferable:

* The uninitialized value is caught earlier with an appropriate error, rather than failing downstream in unexpected places (i.e. plugins that may or may not be installed) with a segfault
* A reasonable default value is set, rather than completely uninitialized

The Python bindings take the 2nd approach, is that something I could reasonably and safely adopt in the Rust bindings?
