[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Use `%_platform_multiplier'` (#1700)

[Miroslav Suchý]

> You can define macros via mock config

How does this help to set ecosystem-wide macro?

I am a Mock contributor (and ex-leader). I defined the `%_platform_multiplier` macro in Mock. But now, users have to use `60*%{?_platform_multiplier}%{!?_platform_multiplier:1}` which is clumsy. Hard to use for newbies. I wanted to have some convenient macro across the whole rpm ecosystem, which will utilize `%_platform_multiplier` if it exists. 

@pmatilai if you are against it, then just close this, and I will try to add it to `fedora-srpm-macros`. But I will be sad as Fedora diverges a bit from other rpm-based distros.
