[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] configure.ac: add linux-gnux32 variant to triplet handling (PR #2143)

[Panu Matilainen]

It's not so much the change itself, it's the lack of rationale needed to understand why this is needed all of a sudden and why it looks like an incomplete "support x32" patch. So okay you have a custom `rpmrc`, that explains how it works at all. That's what I was trying to dig out above.

And now we've learned that this is to address a build regression in 4.17.1, which makes it something entirely different. I didn't realize we had any changes to this area in that release, but looking closer this check is explicitly added in 1cdb72ae48b7ba689c5c79118f4f0c1b4ffe6b7c and then cherry-picked into 4.17.1. And with that information, the picture starts to form. Just explain the matter properly in the commit message and I've no problem merging it.

Tagging @dmnks as we'll probably need a .1 regression release for 4.17.1 anyway and this matter needs to be considered there too.
