Further split the cli-tools to rpminstall, rpmquery and rpmverify
- Installing/erasing packages, querying and verifying require different amount of privileges on the system. Having separate binaries for these functionalities permits limiting the capabilities through SELinux and other similar security mechanisms: for example quering needs much less privileges than installing. - For now, leaving /bin/rpm to be the Swiss Army knife it always was: capable of install/erase, query and verify. Eventually it should be turned into just a dumb wrapper which just execs the per-functionality binaries, but leaving that for later stage, as popt exec/aliasing doesn't quite seem to up to par with the task. Having the separate binaries available at least makes it possible for callers to specify the amount of privileges they need.
