[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Add support for bare `%package` (Discussion #2959)

[Vít Ondruch]

I don't know anything about Debian, but yes, having binary package of different name is one of the motivations. But to me, this is  optional depending if this scenario was supported.

Nonetheless, I think that being able to define subpackages before preamble is beneficial on itself and it would help to remove hacks such as:

(and it does not mean that I necessarily defend purpose and implementation of those macros)
