[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Provide a way to opt out from automagic Python bytecompilation (#434)

[Miro Hrončok]

It is all explained in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/No_more_automagic_Python_bytecompilation#How_we_are_changing_it

> For the time being, we **keep the old behavior working**, so the hundreds of packages that implicitly rely on it do not break all at once. However, we will not (automatically) apply it to Python 3, so it will be phased out as packages switch to Python 3.
> 
> A **opt-out mechanism for automatic compilation of files outside of `/usr/lib(64)?/pythonX.Y/` will be provided** (such as `%?disable_automagic_pybytecompile`). Speaking code, this will disable the final part of the brp-python-bytecompile script.
> 
> Guidelines will be adjusted to say the following:
> 
> if you have *.py files outside of the `/usr/lib(64)?/pythonX.Y/`, you MUST disable their automatic compilation, and compile them explicitly by the `%py_byte_compile` macro if and only if the bytecompilation is desired (i.e. it's an importable Python module).
