[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Regex support while packaging files with %ghost (Discussion #3480)

[Shreenidhi Shedi]

Here is the link to spec which I'm trying this with.

https://github.com/vmware/photon/blob/master/SPECS/selinux-python/selinux-python.spec#L52

I added below lines after line 52.
```
%ghost %{python3_sitelib}/__pycache__
%ghost %{python3_sitelib}/__pycache__/*.pyc
```

And after building and installing package, I did `python3 -c 'import selinux'` and it was successful.
Then I did `rpm -e selinux-python` and the pyc file is still left behind.

```
root at ph4dev [ ~ ]# ls /lib/python3.10/site-packages/selinux/__pycache__/
__init__.cpython-310.pyc
```
But if the ghost directives I used were effective, this should not have happened. Right?
