[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Provide a way to opt out from automagic Python bytecompilation (#434)

[Miro Hrončok]

> NAK, the name disable_automagic_pybytecompile strongly indicates that it disables it *completely* but it does something entirely different.

Well, it disables the automagic part. If you get better name, suggest one.

> If byte-compilation outside python libdirs is too magic and error-prone, I think it's better to just drop it from the build root policy unconditionally, and let packagers call the script manually from spec if needed. There are too many magic variables already and replacing one magic with another...

Works for me. However that break all the things. The idea was to keep to old cruft working while /usr/bin/python is Python 2, provide and opt out for now. Convert all python 3 things to use the opt out, adjust the guidelines and don't let new stuff use the old way.

Once /usr/bin/python is no longer Python 2, kill this with fire.
