Chenxiong Qi 69d2dcd163 Bug 20135 - Make fedabipkgdiff compare ABIs using devel packages
This patch makes fedabipkgdiff compare the ABI of two packages by
taking into account their associated devel packages, along with their
debug info packages.  Taking devel packages into account makes the
tool report changes about types that are defined in public header
files only.  This helps decrease the amount of change reports about
types not defined in public headers.

This is now the default behaviour.

However, if the user provides the new --no-devel-pkg command line
option, then the devel package is not taken into account during the
ABI comparison.

	* doc/manuals/fedabipkgdiff.rst: Add documentation for the new
	--no-devel-pkg command line option, as well as for the new default
	behaviour of taking devel packages into account during ABI
	comparison.
	* tools/fedabipkgdiff (PkgInfo): Add new attribute
	devel_package.
	(RPM.is_devel): New property to determine if rpm is a
	development package.

	(LocalRPM.find_debuginfo): Use new method _find_rpm to find
	debuginfo package.
	(LocalRPM.find_devel): New method to find an associated

	changed to select development package also.

	--devel-pkg[12] options.
	(magic_construct): Construct PkgInfo with development package.
	(run_abipkgdiff): Run abipkgdiff against rpms with development
	packages.
	(diff_local_rpm_with_latest_rpm_from_koji): Find development

	nss-util.

This is the Application Binary Interface Generic Analysis and
Instrumentation Library.

It aims at constructing, manipulating, serializing and de-serializing
ABI-relevant artifacts.

The set of artifacts that we are intersted is made of quantities like
types, variable, fonctions and declarations of a given library or
program.  For a given library or program this set of quantities is
called an ABI corpus.

This library aims at (among other things) providing a way to compare
two ABI Corpora (apparently the plural of corpus is copora, heh,
that's cool), provide detailed information about their differences,
and help build tools to infer interesting conclusions about these
differences.
