[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Make %{buildsubdir} usable without being a side effect of %setup (PR #1925)

[Florian Festi]

So there is the need to handle the whole builddir situation better. Relying on %setup to define buildsubdir is not ideal. Actually the build should be in its own directory even before calling %setup.

Current idea is creating an additional directory and attaching its name to %builddir. This would allow to set %buildsubdir to "." at the start of %prep. The behaviour of setup can then still be changed to what ever seems best. There is an argument to be made (as it is in #551) that the first insatnce of %setup should actually set %buildsubdir.
[409d602](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/1925/commits/409d60244fe9bfd04104907c2fb189f5c9698a9a) allows to keep the current behavior while getting rid of the arcane internals of %setup.
