[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] specfile parsing: why does `Source` files need to be present? (#1592)

[Tomas Tomecek]

Original report: https://github.com/rebase-helper/rebase-helper/issues/848

I have a specfile which is being parsed by the rpm python bindings. The parsing fails on the fact that primary `Source0` archive is not present so rebase-helper retries with `RPMSPEC_FORCE` which results into ignoring patch definitions.

I find this really confusing - I just want the spec to be parsed and don't need to interact with Sources in any way.
