[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: allow overriding buildtime and hostname via environment variable (Issue #2603)

[Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek]

`rpm` embeds the build time and host into output headers. This is very useful to figure out when and where the build was done. But when trying to trying to reproduce an earlier rpm build, we want to override those to the value that was used in the previous build.

Please add something like `RPM_BUILDTIME` and `RPM_BUILDHOST`. When those variables would be set, rpm should use them instead of the actual values. Prior art exists with `SOURCE_DATA_EPOCH`.
