[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] [RFE] Please provide `%excludes` section (Issue #1852)

[rguenth]

I've opened kind-of a duplicate with https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/issues/2555 since I have
the need to conditionally "drop" built subpackages.  So my idea is to add the ability to do this by turning
an existing %files into what you describe as %excludes section with a new option to %files (which I can then add
conditionally).  Implementation wise (without any of your suggested optimization) it could simply skip the
final .rpm file generation for such subpackages either by turning the name of the subpackage to something special
or by adding a flag to the metadata tracked.
