    fakelib: add test for the new fileattr plugin
    
    This is a package that "builds" by copying two files: a systemd
    library that is known to use dlopen notes and another glibc library
    that doesn't have them. It can be built with 'rpmbuild' or 'fedpkg local'.
    For example:
      (cd fakelib && fedpkg local && echo 'Requires:' && rpm -qpv --requires x86_64/fakelib-0-1.fc44.x86_64.rpm && echo 'Recommends:' && rpm -qpv --recommends x86_64/fakelib-0-1.fc44.x86_64.rpm && echo 'Suggests:' && rpm -qpv --suggests x86_64/fakelib-0-1.fc44.x86_64.rpm)

    rpm: add fileattr multifile generator
    
    This allows dlopen notes to be turned into appropriate dependencies
    automatically. The dlopen_notes.attr file needs to be installed into
    %{_fileattrsdir}.
    
    By default, dependencies are generated for all files that have package
    notes. I think this is a reasonable default because it makes the whole
    feature easier to discover. In more realistic cases, esp. with
    multiple subpackages, it's likely that the packager may need to
    configure the distribution of dependencies between subpackages.
    
    One shortcoming of the scheme is that everything is per file, so it's
    not possible to say that dependencies generated from a feature should
    be assigned to a different subpackage. This is how the feature is
    designed in rpm.
    
    The opt-out mechanism is a bit clunky. The first option I considered
    was to tell the user to undefine
    %__dlopen_notes_requires/recommends/suggests, but that requires three
    lines of boilerplate. And might not be forwards-compatible if we add
    new features in the future. The second option would be to tell the
    user to define __dlopen_notes_requires/recommends/suggests_opts to
    %nil. But that has similar problems. I think it's nice to have an
    obvious oneliner to handle this. Unfortunately, when I tried to use
      %__dlopen_notes_requires %{?_dlopen_notes_generator:%{_dlopen_notes_generator} ...}
      %__dlopen_notes_recommends %{?_dlopen_notes_generator:%{_dlopen_notes_generator} ...}
      %__dlopen_notes_suggests %{?_dlopen_notes_generator:%{_dlopen_notes_generator} ...}
    in the .attr file, when the package has %undefine _dlopen_notes_generator,
    we still end up with the macro being expanded. Maybe I misunderstood
    the macro expansion logic. The approach with 'true' is clunky, but
    it works fine.
    
    Thanks to Neal Gompa for the suggestion to use this protocol.
    
    The new interface is new, independent of the existing options
    --feature, --rpm-recommends, --rpm-requires that were previously added
    to support rpms. Unfortunately, with the fileattr protocol, the
    old way to specify information is not useful. Instead of trying
    to shoehorn the new metadata into existing options, I think it's
    easier to add a new set with clear semantics.
