[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: add %doc mode to leave leading directories in place (Issue #1855)

[Panu Matilainen]

The full case is at https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/QYZYBWYFTXVOSXBR7JTFWMHQHGF4LAOZ/ but bottom line, various projects have nested README's, LICENCE's and whatnot, eg

```
%doc README.md
%doc dir1/README.md
%doc dir2/README.md

%license LICENSE.md
%license dir1/LICENSE
%license dir2/LICENSE.md
```

The current behavior of stripping leading directories when copying for %doc does not yield meaningful results in this scenario. We don't want to change the default behavior (which is a feature, really) but there should be a flag to control it for the above case.
