[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: `rpm --macrofile` for using arbitrary macro file directories (#1469)

[Neal Gompa (ニール・ゴンパ)]

Some time back, @daxelrod-datto suggested in https://github.com/debbuild/debbuild/issues/114 that debbuild implement a `--macrofile` option similar to the `--rcfile` option for overriding the macro search path for that invocation. It was noted there that this feature does not exist in RPM, and I would like to see this exist in RPM as well, so that we can have matching syntax and semantics in RPM and debbuild.

>From the debbuild issue:

> A new `--macrofile` command line option with the same semantics [as `--rcfile`, but for configuring the path list for loading macro definitions.

Having this feature in RPM would make it easier to do arbitrary tests of macros and macro evaluation behavior in CI.
