[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Cannot auto-generate dependencies for document web assets (Issue #3559)

[Florian Weimer]

While trying to unbundle static web assets used in HTML documentation under `/usr/share/doc`, I ran into this default:

```
# Following macros for filtering auto deps must not be used in spec files.
# Their purpose is to set up global filtering for all packages. If you need
# to set up specific filtering for your package use %__requires_exclude_from
# and %__provides_exclude_from instead.
%__global_requires_exclude_from		%{?_docdir:%{_docdir}}
%__global_provides_exclude_from		%{?_docdir:%{_docdir}}
```

I understand why it's there (we don't want script interpreter dependencies for example scripts), but it makes it very hard to auto-generate dependencies on e.g. Javascript asset packages that contain resources that are auto-generated by documentation build tools and that have been automatically unbundled during the RPM build via symbolic links.

This is somewhat related to #3558.
