debuginfod PR25583: map -R to -Z.rpm
It was reported that libarchive (bsdtar) at least as far back as rhel7 (3.1.2) can natively process RPM files, so there's no need to mediate those accesses through rpm2cpio. There's no noteworthy performance or testing impact. Signed-off-by: Frank Ch. Eigler <fche@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Wielaard <mark@klomp.org>
