[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Add deprecated %apply_patch, provide an alternative (#1668)

[Panu Matilainen]

So... it all ends up being rather cumbersome because -m and -M are a cumbersome way of specifying ranges, but now we're kinda stuck with them. Me thinks it'd make a whole lot more sense to have ranges expressable in `-5`, `50-70` `100-` style (multiple) arguments, in addition to individual patch numbers. Then the -m/-M thing can be handled as a special case of that and deprecated.
