[Yum] yum info should list Epoch

Would it make sense to add a feature to yum where yum info <foo> would
list the Epoch if one existed?

I ran "yum info mozilla" on my machine with various internal repos.
mozilla-1.7.10 was installed and 1.7.12 was available, but "yum update
mozilla" would not install anything.  It was not immediately obvious to
me that this was caused by the Epoch values inside the mozilla packages.
1.7.10 had a higher Epoch than 1.7.12.

I hate Epoch's in RPMs, but sometimes they're needed to override vendor
RPMs and this is the case with our internal Mozilla RPMs.

Thanks for your consideration.
