[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] python bindings are using system RPM instead of in-source one (#130)

[Panu Matilainen]

The issue here is pretty convoluted: the setup.py method of building was originally added primarily to support shipping python-bindings as a separate tarball, to support building multiple versions of the bindings. The former never happened, and to support Py 2 vs 3 people have been building the bindings in-tree with the setup.py method, which never really really worked. 

Now that that Python 2 is no longer supported at all, I think the solution to this is either axe the setup.py method entirely, or make it error-out if trying to build in-tree.
