Goal

As a dnf library user (specifically in Python), I can programatically determine if a package is transient or persistent.

The goal is for Satellite to be able receive a package profile from RHSM with a new section for package persistence. With this information, Satellite can tell users which packages are installed transiently on their hosts. From there, users can improve their Containerfiles to include the transient packages, or at least be educated about which machines will change on reboot.

Acceptance criteria

More details are within the RHSM RFE https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CCT-1343

Some related use of libdnf in RHSM: https://github.com/candlepin/subscription-manager/blob/3eb3ca50939ebf7b177bdaa1d10a74095ebbe33e/src/rhsm/profile.py#L357-L385

Generally, in the same manner that a libdnf user can query a package's name/version/release/etc, it should also be possible to get the persistence of the package in a Python script.
