[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Allow to eclude files from %doc (#1298)

[Vít Ondruch]

I would expect the following to work:

~~~
%files
%doc README.md CHANGELOG.md docs
%exclude %{_datadir}/doc/git-lfs/docs/mangen
%exclude %{_datadir}/doc/git-lfs/docs/man/*.{1,5}
%exclude %{_datadir}/doc/git-lfs/docs/man/mangen.go
~~~

Unfortunately, the `%doc` directive is unexpectedly processed after all the other content of `%files` section:

~~~

Would it be possible to process the `%doc` earlier to allow the `%exclude` to take its action?
