I see that we're decrementing i to account for the filter. Are we doing the loop this way to avoid doubling the relationship allocations?

exactly -- if there are no self referential package relationships then we aren't allocating another slice

Adds support for tracking RPM to RPM dependencies (from an RPM DB, not from RPM files) as package relationships.
Note: there are several cases where package evidence seems to support self-referential dependencies (e.g. bash depends on bash) however, the RPM/yum/dnf tooling does not support this conclusion. For this reason this cataloger will prune all self-referential RPM DB package relationships.
