[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Add tag with %{NAME} of SRPM (#1364)

[Panu Matilainen]

SOURCEPACKAGE is used for identifying *source packages*, ie it's set to 1 on src.rpm headers.

If we added SOURCENAME, the next person would want SOURCEVERSION, -RELEASE and -EPOCH, (because they can differ from the binary package counterparts) and so on. The idea is that SOURCERPM tells you where to find the data you're after, so you can then go and query the src.rpm all you want.

That said, you're not the first and wont be the the last person asking for this, the more generic request would be for source NEVR in a format that doesn't require ugly unreliable parsing.
