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

[Panu Matilainen]

There are some "interesting" gotchas in this direction. I have draft patches to turn %patch and %setup into actual macros so they get processed with the normal spec readLine() machinery but as long as the macro engine cannot handle multiple options of the same type, this is a no-go. The other, ahem, specialty is that `%patch1` style syntax will forever need pre-processing to turn it into `%patch 1` basically. Until those two are eliminated, %prep will require that very special processing.
