[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Turn %prep into a normal build script (Issue #2205)

[Frank Dana]

Doesn't help that [the only example](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_architecture_support) (end of that section) of `%patch` usage that I can find in the Fedora Packaging Guidelines still uses `%patch0`. Seems this memo really hasn't been distributed widely enough. (News to me, as well.)

Guidelines examples can be corrected easily enough, of course, if the updated syntax is universally preferred/correct. How long has e.g. `%patch 0` worked in RPM, relative to how long `%patch0` has been legal? Is there any extreme legacy use case or whatever reason that doing the equivalent of `s/%patch([0-9]+)/%patch $1/` across the board would be a bad idea? (I'm assuming `%patch0 -p1`, like in that FPG example, is canonically supposed to be `%patch 0 -p1`?)
