[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Disable subpackage check at SRPM build time (#674)

[nim-nim]

> @nim-nim, @eclipseo: It would be deeply flawed if `rpmbuild(8)` allowed an invalid spec file to be used for a package build

@Conan-Kudo The spec is perfectly fine and valid, and the assertion will pass. At the *right* time, when the parts the assertion checks against are available, not at `rpmbuild -bs` time because `rpmbuild -bs` needs to be kept minimal to avoid bloating default build roots.

Arguably, the `keep default build roots small` is a modern concern, due to the explosion of possible languages and tools. Nevertheless it’s a real concern.
