[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Add "local_generator" (PR #2734)

[Florian Festi]

> One more thing wrt the macro name: I wonder if this is a case where it should _not_ have those leading underscores. The generator itself is full of double underscore names, but the newly added macro here is something directly intended for packager use in a spec. I dunno, it may even be more confusing to have one of the macros without them 😅

May be someone(tm) should write down the policy regarding underscores. May be in a [RPM Design Philosophy](#2897) document...
IIRC the idea was that macros without underscore are the packagers. One underscore are RPM's macro to be used by packagers and double underscore are internal macros to be left untouched. Not that this really is done that way.

But I agree that there should probably be less underscores.
