Change format of the RPM Database from Berkeley DB to RPM's own format.

== Detailed Description ==
The current implementation of the RPM Database is based on Berkeley
DB. There are doubts about the its future and level of maintenance. In
addition rpm's use of the database has multiple issues on its own. As
a result RPM upstream is working to replace the database format with a
new implementation.

Is the new database going to be able to support yumdb use cases as well?
Might be a good time to get rid of separate rpmdb and yumdb and merge
them together.

please don't do that

the yumdb is bloat because it contains a endless history and that's growing on machines after 10, 20 or more dist-upgrades while currently it's easy to get rid of that bload by just rm -rf /var/lib/yum/* and/or rm -rf /var/lib/dnf/*
