[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Drop support for external dependency generator (Issue #2373)

[Panu Matilainen]

Dependency generation never ran in parallel. The difference is that the "new" dependency generator of the last 20 years collects and records dependencies on per-file basis - by running any applicable generators once per each file rather than all at once on per-package basis. This tends to, uh, highlight the startup times of various interpreters.

Parallelizing that piece is a tough cookie and wont make the intrinsic slow-and-stupid go away, I've been looking at an opt-in mode to process multiple files at once (while still collecting the info per file) but this requires a (generally simple) change to generators to take advantage of.
