[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Please remove the "absolute symlink" warnings (Issue #2419)

[Vít Ondruch]

Just for the context, I am working on project to remove bundled assets in generated RDoc documentation:

https://fedorapeople.org/cgit/vondruch/public_git/darkfish.git/

This is going to replace the assets with symlinks and I think the absolute symlinks is the right choice, because it allows users to copy the documentation around while keep it working.

But in turn, that means that every rubygem-*-doc package will spit tens or more symlink warnings:

I don't think RPM should judge this.
