[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Document rpm design philosophy in the manual (Issue #2897)

[Richard Megginson]

I wonder if there are other packages like the Microsoft case where they require an explicit acceptance of a EULA in order to install the package.  Rather than their current solution of requiring an environment variable to be set, or prompting on the terminal, perhaps we can recommend something like this?

> If your package requires some sort of confirmation before installation (for example, the user must accept a EULA before installing the package), then the package can have a `%preinstall` script which looks for a file with specific content.  For example, the package can look for `/etc/$VENDOR/EULA.txt` with the content `yes`.
