[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RPM generators errors are ignored (#1183)

[Panu Matilainen]

Yup, the generator failure handling is a funny mess:
- in legacy generators (the "external generator") only provide generation can cause build-failure
- in current generators, all script error codes are ignored
- ...except for buildrequires generator where script errors cause build failure

Of course the only sane thing is to always fail on non-zero return, with maybe a macro override to allow temporarily working around bugs etc.
