This PR might be a bit incomplete: untested, no test coverage I think, and perhaps RPM should be dropped from the type names (with aliases for backwards compatibility) to make it clearer that files with them do get included with non-rpm packagers too.
Anyway, submitting here already in this form for discussion, before spending more time on it.
See commentary in code for elaboration.

One example case is at https://github.com/aakso/ssh-inscribe/blob/7922b3e15f5fd9569c927f1464982c6f9e870f5b/.goreleaser.yaml#L69-L82. Note how the
LICENSE
andREADME.md
entries need to be duplicated for deb and rpm; deb without the type info, rpm with it. It would get worse if there were more packager types enabled.
