[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Drop support for buggy and problematic alternative Python build method (PR #2231)

[Panu Matilainen]

This was a kind of a necessary evil to see through us the Python 3 transition but with *that* over, there's little justification for maintaining an alternative build method to accumulate bugs and deprecated cruft on.

The one useful thing it provides is egg-info, but that's simple enough that we don't need Python libraries to do it, just generate it from the cmake build.
    
Fixes: #130, #2230
