Add FetchCode support for rpm #171

Description

@pombredanne

At first glance, you cannot derive a deterministic download URL for RPM packages from a PURL - even with qualifiers - because RPM ecosystems lack a centralized, standardized CDN like Alpine or Debian. RPMs are distributed across many vendor-specific, versioned, and dynamically updated repositories.

But in practice we can download RPMs alright so we need to try harder! The code is to be written alright, in PurlDB and FetchCode
