[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE Please add a verb to inhibit macro expansion (#569)

I though this might show it, but to me it looks like it works as expected; using either three or four percent signs seems correct.  (That's kind of a fun result on its own, though.)  Maybe your situation is more complicated or more nesting is required or something.  That's why it's really important to include some instructions for showing the issue.

```
ἐπιθυμία:~❯ cat *spec
%global try1 echo "%license try1"
%global try2 echo "%%license try2"
%global try3 echo "%%%license try3"
%global try4 echo "%%%%license try4"
%global try5 echo "%%%%%license try5"
