OVS-1325 - Added support for creating rpm packages

[khenderick]

Added support for creating rpm packages.

As a historical note: this replaces #513 .

LGTM. As long as .deb build scripts are in here I think it's fine for .rpm build scripts to be here too.

IMHO it lacks quite a couple of things:

• Packages tend to carry a LICENSE or COPYING file, which is installed in /usr/share/doc/<packagename>, using %doc COPYING in the %files section
• The Release field should most likely carry a %{?dist} suffix (1%{?dist})
• The package description lacks build- & runtime-dependencies (BuildRequires and Requires fields)
• Missing Source0 field (currently the package sources seem to come out of thin air)
• Consider setting ExclusiveArch, since Arakoon is basically only tested & supported on x86_64
• Use e.g. %{_bindir} instead of hard-coded /usr/bin
• Use ${buildroot} instead of $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
• Consider adding a %check section which invokes the Arakoon unit tests (which ensures the build actually runs)
• Some other fields are missing:
  • URL
  • %changelog

LGTM (assuming it works :wink: )
