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

That is certainly an option. But people consider both BUILDTIME and BUILDHOST very useful for figuring out where/when/who exactly build a package. For example, even in Fedora infrastructure which tries to keep things very uniform, builders vary in hardware capabilities and other setup. So at the technical level, I'm weakly on the side of keeping them, but I know that if we were to try to drop those fields, it'd cause a huge discussion, and it's just not worth having that.
