[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Allow to eclude files from %doc (#1298)

[Igor Raits]

I did take quick look into the code base: for `%doc` the `addSpecialFile()` is used that just inserts file entries. That does not copy files into the %{_docdir}. Rather, it is done from `processPackageFiles() -> processSpecialDir()` at which point it already packages the RPM. The `%exclude` is using `addFile()` with statp argument as NULL that indicates that file/directory does not exist.

Not sure what would be the best solution to this problem code-wise.
