    Remove silent-on-rules-requires-root tag and tweak condition for rules-do-not-require-root

Earlier, a check for "dpkg-build-api (>= 1)" was deciding about it, but
R³ is set to no by default since dpkg version 1.22.13. This change is
hence valid since trixie.

It does not make sense to have silent-on-rules-requires-root since this
is default now, and rules-do-not-require-root should be triggered in all
cases unless d/control says otherwise.

    New pedantic tag: redundant-rules-requires-root-no-field

This is added by default by dpkg starting since version 1.22.13 and
is hence no longer required to have explicitly written into d/control.

    Remove R³ from debian-native template to avoid adding tags for a large number of tests. Also adjust a few tests.

A lot of (mostly old) tests use --pedantic option with lintian and this
new pedantic check causes many of them to fail as a result.

Hence removed Rules-Requires-Root in the template to avoid adjusting
almost 50-60 tests.
