[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Relocatable packages with plain `/` in `%files` can't be installed as regular user (Issue #3173)

[Michal Domonkos]

Thanks for the suggestions! Indeed, going one directory upwards would've been the solution (and I had a working patch for that already)... except then I realized the root cause was actually a bit different. We weren't populating the package's dirname list (when processing relocations) correctly as we didn't insert the *parent* of the relocation target into it. With any other prefixes, this already worked fine, just not with the sole `/`. Fixed in #3223.

As for the "don't even try to remove `/`", that's a separate issue that I'll patch separately later (it's easy, just need to re-check something).
