The target audience for these changes is people building OS images (or anything 
else RPM-derived) that desire a reproducible build. The changes are described 
fairly clearly but the gist is that `RPMTAG_INSTALLTID` and 
`RPMTAG_INSTALLTIME` contain timestamps and current mechanisms make these 
impossible to override. These changes add the necessary override APIs to 
override these values when desired.
