[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] add brp helper scripts from mandriva's spec-helper (#122)

[proyvind]

@soig you're making a good point, if one wanna look at truly stupid mechanisms, one should look at how the internal dependency generator is doing the same work over and over and over.. It's now become what takes up the most time of build for certain packages..

In contrast, running 'find' over and over within a buildroot with caches enabled and all, the amount of work being repeated is neglible, just as the time it takes to run the scripts.
The scripts are written in a similar fashion as the existing ones in place, where limiting the amount of times 'find' being run really hasn't been of much relevance, these are simple shell scripts.
Refactoring of the scripts really aren't all that worthwhile spending time on, especially not compared to the gain of the functionality provided by.
For health reasons, I'm only sporadically active, so it's certainly not something worthwhile spending my time on at least.

Same for script names, does it matter all that much?
The names comes from the mandriva spec-helper package, where they originate from.
If not clear enough, it sounds more sensible to just document it's behaviour in the scripts themself anyways..

If the the scripts and functionality of the scripts are sensible enough, I recommend just applying whatever cosmetics on top of my pull request as-is, I'm rather absent these days.
