[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] I is currently not possible to completely disable rpm own debuginfo generation code (Issue #3057)

[Simo Sorce]

**Describe the bug**
I have spent some time trying to create a completely custom debuginfo file for a package I maintain.

Currently it is not possible to do so. Even disabling the custom package template and the whole debug_package machinery via `%global debug_package %{nil}` if rpm build see a package named `%{name}-debuginfo` it will always interfere with the build process of that package. 

Namely the code will disregard any file list provide by either the %files section or via __find_debuginfo script and will instead process to reconstruct a new file list by searching for files named *-%{name}-%version}.%{release}.debug


**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Disable debug package creation
2. Add an explicit %{name}-debuginfo package
3. Try to include arbitrary files in it

Please link or attach the packages or spec files involved.

**Expected behavior**
When debug package creation is disabled the "main" debuginfo package file lists should not be tampered with.

**Additional context**
At the moment the only workaround I found was to create a fake subpackage and debuginfo subpackage and that allows me to include whatever content I need, but this is not a good solution.
