[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Document that `%patch 1` syntax is available and preferred (Issue #2209)

[Panu Matilainen]

So to be clear, `%patch 1` only works as expected in rpm >= 4.18. Prior to that, it would attempt to apply patches 0 and 1. Go figure :roll_eyes: 

The most compatible form by far is `%patch -P1` which AIUI works in every rpm version out there, only it's not the preferred form for other reasons (the patch numbers should really be positional arguments, and options are, well, options)
