[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] When using %autopatch, create backup files with .<num>~ suffix by def… (#109)

[Panu Matilainen]

Okay so I ended up doing something slightly different. The quilt case was indeed was basically a case of working by accident. This commit fixes that + adds the patch ordinal as another (non-option) argument: 1d7b45e484883f3a340f40610b060cc100f62caa 

The other piece of the puzzle is a separate "gendiff" backend which takes advantage of the ordinal number to generate backups: 34c4609df37c2462dcd884e7952259b66ebd3098 (the idea of a separate backend discussed in PR#110)

This avoids adding options that are specific to just one backend and the annoying question of default behavior: defaults dont change at all, patch is plain patch with no backups that are redundant most of the time yet you can easily switch them on when you need.

Credits in the commit message already but again, thanks for input and inspiration on this.
