[OE-core] [PATCH 0/9] recipe updates, testing fixes

[Alexander Kanavin]

I got to it finally. Normally /var/lib/rpm is absent when opkg is in use,
but when /usr/bin/rpm is present, python3's ptest involves distutils test
creating rpm packages (and presumably installing them too), which creates a
database in /var/lib/rpm, which then triggers rpm tests to run and fail. So
a check for /var/lib/rpm in rpm tests isn't always sufficient to determine
which packaging system is in use, and there should be a stronger one.

I'm fine with adjusting libsolv to not pull in rpm, but please use
EXCLUDE_FROM_WORLD instead of PNBLACKLIST, so that just that specific
problem is solved, rather than banning libdnf/dnf altogether from builds.

Making libdnf to not require rpm-enabled libsolv is not feasible sadly,
it's basically built around that assumption.
