[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Host specific %_install_langs affects --root <customdir> installation (Issue #2623)

[Pavel Raiskup]

Thank you for your comment.  I wish you stated your opinion on what to do about this. But to me it eventually doesn't seem that much controversial to just remove the `/etc/rpm/macros.image-language-conf` file, which will lead to the default `%_install_langs all` behavior.  This is likely the setup that is being used by everyone ATM, and if we want to have more minimal installations in Mock, someone has to come up with some official proposal (though since Mock still downloads the packages, filtering translations from the installation transaction probably wouldn't bring too much additional value to motivate us).

I now actually realized we have been doing this for Fedora Copr (for Fedora Cloud-based images) [since the pre-bootstrap time](https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/ansible/c/7d30f319e0b2a573ce4c3db9ce5319b0c52dec7b).  Those days host configuration affected non-bootstrapped Mock installations.

For Mock it's going to be a bit of "guessing", I suppose the config file could be named whatever way -> but at least Fedora and RHEL container images use the same pattern.
