[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Inconsistent macro expansion (Issue #1798)

[Michael Schroeder]

Rpm's %define implementation is so weird:
```
$ rpm --eval '%define foo bar\baz' --eval '%foo'
barbaz
$ rpm --eval '%define foo {bar\baz}' --eval '%foo'
bar\baz
```

I saw that you added support for a "programmatic" case where the macro name is one arg and the body is the second arg. Should rpm copy over the body verbatim or should it do all the nasty mangling it currently does?
