rpmbuild how to handle "%" in filenames.

[Jordan Sissel]

fpm users hit this problem quite a bit, so I have workarounds:

https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/blob/master/lib/fpm/package/rpm.rb#L128-L134

The code above has rules for handling files with spaces, and hacks for
escaping [ % ? and * characters. Hope this helps.
