Add rpmtdSetTag() method for setting (or changing) container tag + type

- permit change on non-empty container to compatible type to allow things like
    headerGet(h, RPMTAG_FILENAMES, td, HEADERGET_EXT);
    rpmtdSetTag(td, RPMTAG_OLDFILENAMES);
    headerPut(h, td, HEADERPUT_DEFAULT);
- empty container can be set to any valid type
