[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Allow setting plaform macro settings externally (PR #2580)

[Zoltán Böszörményi]

> This PR needs to be against master. Also a feature like this needs at least some documentation. `installplatform` is a script no one ever should need to look into. So hiding features in there is not acceptable. May be adding a section to INSTALL is a good first step. We can move that to the docs/manual later on if we feel it take up too much space there.

I added the documentation text in INSTALL after the default `make install` line. 

> I am also wonder if we should allow passing the directory name.

I don't know. At this point it's still RFC both for `rpm` and the Yocto community. But it allows me to run `rpmbuild` straight on the target system.

> I might have missed something but it looks like there can only be a "custom" platform.

One is enough. There is only a single target platform you can build for at a time.

See the complete patch at  https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/184844

> So please re-open this against master.

See #2585
