[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: make source less special (#539)

[nim-nim]

So, I can set SOURCE0, SOURCE1, etc as normal rpm variables in the spec, and spectool will be happy, and download the corresponding sources.

HOWEVER rpmbuild won't be happy at all and will complain the spec does not contain any Source tag

This is a PITA as it means computing SOURCEX values from macros is not natural:
 1. you need to generate SourceX:  line for the initial assignation
 2. if for whatever reason you need to rewrite it, then you need to perform normal variable assignation as otherwise rpm will complain of multiple  SOURCEX lines

SOURCEX would be really more convenient to manage as a normal variable
