[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Add a man page for RPM dependency generators (PR #3957)

[Panu Matilainen]

@pmatilai commented on this pull request.



> +While the RPM macro primitives are limited, using *%{lua:...}* enables the
+writing of full-featured, macro-only generators in the Lua language.
+
+The following trivial example creates provides from path basenames, which is
+enormously faster than the equivalent traditional generator shelling out to
+execute a script that calls *basename*(1):
+
+```
+%__foo_provides()	%{basename:%{1}}
+```
+
+Added: 4.16.0
+
+## Multifile protocol
+
+Generators may optionally support an enhanced mode where all matching files are

"a mode" (because there are several modes) but "the multifile mode" :smile:
