[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Embed Build Environment Information into RPM Builds (Discussion #4074)

[Shreenidhi Shedi]

Summary:
This patch introduces a new feature that captures the build environment details during an RPM build and includes them as part of the package sources. It generates a BUILD_ENVIRONMENT.txt file containing relevant information such as the rpmbuild command-line arguments, environment variables, list of installed packages, and output of a custom shell script defined via RPM macros. The file is automatically added to the source files if the corresponding macros are enabled, enabling better reproducibility, debugging, and auditing of RPM builds.

Benefits:
- Improves reproducibility and traceability of RPM builds.
- Facilitates debugging of build failures by providing complete build context.
- Supports auditing and compliance by recording installed packages and environment variables.
