Motivation for this change

This should enable (manual) building of RPMs from python projects using
the python setup.py bdist_rpm command on systems where rpmbuild is not located in
/usr/bin/rpmbuild. (e.g. NixOS)
The discovery of the rpmbuild command was fixed upstream in Python 3.8,
so this commit backports the relevant patch to our currently supported
Python 3 versions.

Fixes: #85204

Things done

I have only tested that the patches apply but didn't run a full build since it is a mass rebuild. Sorry for that.

  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
