This should be configurable, not an automatic choice
I will rework it but I actually disagree, people keep asking why koji is not using createrepo_c as createrepo is legacy and on the way out.
I think this is a case where we should use the new tool if we have it
I see your point, but I still want to it be configurable. This is principal of least surprise for admins. Createrepo_c is not just a faster createrepo. It is a complete rewrite with potentially different behavior in corner cases. In future versions, we can look at defaulting to createrepo_c.
updated, making createrepo_c a configurable option
