Revamp the RPM building process. For versions of rpm that support
"--define", we now build the RPM and SRPM packages in packages/rpm.
As a result, one need not be root to build RPM-based packages.
Move the specfile to packaging/rpm/SPECS.
Update the INSTALL document to include the various packaging makefile
targets.
