[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Auto-enable optimizations for non-rotational disks on Linux (#949)

[Florian Festi]

Detecting SSDs automatically is a great step IMHO. This will in the end result in may be half a dozen OS specific code pieces in `getRotational()`. That's fine with me.
Not setting these config macros is probably the best way to set those values to "autodetect" which should be the default (`%_minimize_writes` is currently set to `0` in `macros.in`).

I am wondering if having one rotary disk holding rpm back to the old behavior is really what we want in the long run. May be we nee something a bit smarter there. But that will require hard coding parts of the FHS into rpm. May be it is enough to ignore a few known paths like /mnt, /media and /home.

Anyway, this is not a reason to not start with this more simpler version.
