I fixed the issue with `rpm -e` not working with the version number. The
plugin's version property was including "-incubating" which RPM's don't like
"-" in that property. The version and release properties are appropriate now;
taken from what the rpm-maven-plugin produces.
The new commit generates an RPM file with a name like:
`rya.streams.query-manager-3.2.13-incubating_SNAPSHOT20180404214440-noarch.rpm`
With `3.2.13` being assigned to the version property and
`incubating_SNAPSHOT20180404214440` to the release property.
Using `rpm -qa | grep rya` returns:
`rya.streams.query-manager-3.2.13-incubating_SNAPSHOT20180404214440.noarch`
I confirmed that all the following work for uninstall:
```
sudo yum remove
rya.streams.query-manager-3.2.13-incubating_SNAPSHOT20180404214440.noarch
sudo yum remove
rya.streams.query-manager-3.2.13-incubating_SNAPSHOT20180404214440
sudo yum remove rya.streams.query-manager-3.2.13
sudo yum remove rya.streams.query-manager
sudo rpm -e
rya.streams.query-manager-3.2.13-incubating_SNAPSHOT20180404214440.noarch
sudo rpm -e
rya.streams.query-manager-3.2.13-incubating_SNAPSHOT20180404214440
sudo rpm -e rya.streams.query-manager-3.2.13
sudo rpm -e rya.streams.query-manager
```
