[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] [RFE] Add limits to autopatch macro (#626)

It's a bit harder than it seems on the outset. Various options:
1. extend the rpmlua interface to support arbitrary objects (to allow storing number alongside the name)
2. extend the rpmlua interface to allow setting the table key (to the patch number), but this results in unsorted table which then needs solved one way or the other
3. create separate arrays for storing the patch numbers, so you can use the index from ipairs() to address the file/number 

Of those, 3. is probably the easiest but it also seems clumsy.
