[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Add an ArchiveX header (#372)

[nim-nim]

Right now rpm assumes it can scrap the archivex filename from SourceX, but nowadays many upstreams publish source archives on URLs that do not contain the actual archive name*

The common workaround is to change SourceX to url#/archivex filename, but that is quite confusing to new packagers and creates artificial urls which are very hard to parse and maintain, are error-prone, have the risk that the website will interpret them differently from rpm

rpm should bite the bullet and allow for each SourceX an optional corresponding ArchiveX, with the following semantics:
1. if archiveX exists set the filename of SourceX to archiveX
2. if it does not scrap the filename of SourceX the same way it's done today
