Description

We use createrepo to generate the XML snippets, and createrepo_c to generate the SQLite databases. We should drop our dependency on createrepo, which is a dead project, and use createrepo_c exclusively. The only place we use createrepo is here: https://github.com/pulp/pulp_rpm/blob/4678cc697458ec207996bee2d851f72db190c167/plugins/pulp_rpm/plugins/importers/yum/parse/rpm.py#L4-L31

createrepo_c provides the same functionality in its python bindings (packaged as ``python2-createrepo_c``)
