  1. Drop --pkgid and --hdrid query source cli-switches 

    These obscure switches are backed up by obsolete crypto that wont be,
cannot be, present in v6 packages. It would be possible to keep them
alive by making them point to non-obsolete data, but for that there
would need to be a use-case and users. These have neither as far as
I've learned in the last ~20 years.

  2. Document RPMDBI_SIGMD5 and RPMDBI_SHA1HEADER as obsolete 

    Nothing and nobody should be using these for anything at all.
We'd rather remove these indexes entirely but doing so while keeping
compatibility with existing databases and so on is far more trouble
than letting these die of old age is. V6 packages will not have such
tags so in time these indexes will be all empty and then we can just
axe them without having to work out transitional details.
