[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Unclosed %if (when defined inside %define) (#1198)

[Panu Matilainen]

Thinking some more, it might not be such a bad idea in general to require escapes for ambiguous constructs. There's all manner of weird behavior in this neighbourhood, for a loosely related example:

```
%global test() \
%description

%description
%test
```

This produces an empty description in the package, no warnings, and removing the %description above the %test line produces identical output :zany_face:
