[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Document all the ways to declare source and patch files (Issue #3384)

[Otto Liljalaakso]

In [rpkg#725](https://pagure.io/rpkg/pull-request/725), there was a need to authoritative documentation of different ways to declare source and patch files in a specfile, but people involved could not find any. The natural place for this would be [Spec file format](https://rpm-software-management.github.io/rpm/manual/spec.html), but it has only very basic description of Source and Patch. I tried looking at other pages as well, but still could not find anything.

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
[rpkg#725](https://pagure.io/rpkg/pull-request/725)

**Describe the solution you'd like**
In my opinion, a good description of Source and Patch would include, either in those sections or 

1.Numbered SourceXX form
2. Unnumbered Source form
3. %sourcelist and %patchlist

Additionally, I could not find the statement that tags are parsed in case-insensitive manner in the spec file format page. It would be good to have that as well.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
none

**Additional context**
none
