[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Make %make_build to provide verbose output of make command. (#617)

[Panu Matilainen]

%make_build_verbose doesn't make sense, it doesn't help with the problems and is just longer to type.

But as for the PR itself: actually you always want full verbosity when building packages, so I don't see why not. If somebody really wants a quiet build they can either override (%make_build V=0) or run rpmbuild --quiet. Hand-written makefiles will always be case-by-case but we're after the common case here.

Once upon a time, there was an initiative to force verbosity in %configure, but that "broke" some packages where %configure was used for non-autoconf builds. Passing V=1 (and VERBOSE=1) to make doesn't have that problem, and if somebody's package breaks by having V= mean something else... well, that's life.
