[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] spec rename downloaded source to avoid name conflict (Discussion #3568)

`rpmbuild` itself doesn't download the sources (unless told to by undefining the `%{_disable_source_fetch}` macro but that's nowadays discouraged due to the lack of any integrity checks) so it's the packager's job to provide them in the `%{_sourcedir}`. Whether that's done manually or with something like `spectool -g` or `fedpkg` is beyond the realm of `rpmbuild`.

Now, specifying the full originating URL in a `Source` tag of course is good practice and something that we support, and if you can't control the URL, you might indeed stumble upon such a conflicting filename issue like described. This is tracked in #372.
