[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Triple operator for conditional shortcut (#115)

While we're thinking about extending the conditional macro syntax, here's another thing to consider:

The current ? test is only for (non-)existence of macro, which is extremely limiting. We could easily make the spec %if expression parser available to macro engine, which would give a whole new level of power to macros. I think we should plan the new syntax to be able to accommodate this, even if it's not initially implemented, we don't want to have to invent yet another syntax for that later on.
