[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Allow to specify a default for bcond features in a macro file (PR #2405)

[Panu Matilainen]

I'd like to see tests with real-world bconds in packages. We already have tests for bcond so this can build on top of those. 

I'd like to see documentation and tests on how this is supposed to be used in real life, answering some practical matters like
- Where would the overrides/defaults be stored, a macro file somewhere in the path? 
- Would it be shipped to users so that when you rebuild an src.rpm you get the same selections as the distro build? 
- If I have a bcond set in a spec, overridden to something else by the distro, can I override the distro setting by by a "--with/without foo" on the command line? This seems crucial if the defaults are shipped to users.

Everything is of course simpler if these overrides are only selectively passed by a command line in a central buildsys somewhere, reading up from its own config in whatever format. It makes for an inconsistent rebuild behavior though.
