[Bug 984] New: pkgchk not logging header checks to journal

OtherBugsDependingO 613
             nThis:


the rpmchk library (used by   pkgchk) performs a series of header checks, many
driven out of a table of tags and functions to call to test them.  There is no
journalling code in this area of rpmchk. As a result, pkgchk reports to stderr
that look like errors are never logged as fails, for example incorrect
RPMTAG_ARCH. Also the absence of required dependencies, also reported to stderr,
is not journalled.

This bug needs fixing for certification: it doesn't make sense to submit pkgchk
journals for certification if errors in the package can't be detected from them.

This will take a little thought: is an individual header check a single testcase
or is "check the header" a testcase?  In the former case, each header-check
functions could use tetj to log the testcase; in the latter, the functions will
need to log info and return a pass/fail that the calling routine can keep track
of and at the end report fail if anything failed.
