[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Support sed 'in-place' replacement on BSD. (#953)

[Andreas Scherer]

BSD's sed _requires_ an `extension` for the `-i` option, even an 'empty' (`-i ""`) extension to suppress creation of a backup for 'in-place' editing, while GNU sed's `-i` defaults to 'no backup' without an express `suffix`. With `%{__sed_i}` it should be easier to write portable specfiles for both GNU/Linux and BSD based systems. The latter should simply redefine
```
   %__sed_i /bin/sed -i ""
```
in a local macro file or
```
   %global __sed_i /bin/sed -i ""
```
in a specfile.
