Release 2.6.0

RPMLint 2.6

This is a minor feature release with the following improvements:

RPM Package Handling

• Added support for RPM packages containing files greater than 4GB.
• Use rpm2archive to unpack and left rpm2cpio as a fallback for distros without rpm2archive.
• Checked for Python dependencies like python3.12dist(foo).
• PythonCheck: simplify requirement check using metadata.
• Add new check to FilesCheck to look for files with zero perms.
• Check usage of deprecated %patch -pN macro.
• Warn about no %check section in spec.
• BinariesCheck: do not mark as binary eBPF ELF files
• Added pgadmin, forgejo, netdata, cady user/group
• Fixed issues related to readelf output encoding handling.

Linting and Code Quality

• Reset all checks for each package.
• Cleaned up test files, creating mock packages to replace .rpm binaries.
