[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Implement autobuild "template" system (prototype) (PR #2620)

[Panu Matilainen]

Remove endless boilerplate to perform the same steps in each package by just declaring which kind of buildsystem the package uses using the new Autobuild: spec tag.

Autobuild macros are just regular parametric macros which can be invoked manually from specs too, which should help with reuse and handling complicated cases.

As such , this will only work for simple and/or "perfect" upstream projects of course. In reality many/most packages need further tweaking in %install or otherwise. Augmenting those (one way or the other) needs to be implemented to make this real-world usable.

Add automake upstream amhello-1.0.tar.gz as an test-case of a rather hands-free autobuild.

Fixes: #1087
