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

[Miroslav Suchý]

The idea is that people can use something like:

```
%check
timeout %platform_timeout 60 somescript.sh
```

which would basically expand to

```
%check
timeout 60 somescript.sh
```

on most platforms. But if `%_platform_multiplier` was defined then the timeout will be increased. 

The benefits of having this in rpm itself are that users can expect the presence **always**.  They do not need to fiddle with `%?:`... Just sometimes the function can alter the value.
