[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] fix rpmbuild failure because of wrong symlink length on some filesystems (#1740)

[skysley]

Thank you for the responses! I understand the problem(s) of this pull request. 

I have two questions:
1. Why is the archive size calculated in advance in the first place? Is this some kind of sanity check or is it required somewhere?
2. Would it be possible, in case the size check fails, to give some better error message? Currently it is giving "write failed - No such file or directory" which made me wonder: "Which file or directory? What did I do wrong?".
