Feature #9451: RPM Spec file improvements

Affected mCollective version:
I've made some changes to the rpm spec for mcollective.
I'll try to explain most of them. I am trying to get mcollective as close as
possible to following the Fedora/EPEL packaging guidelines. There are a couple
issues that would prevent this from going into EPEL as is, mainly the vendoring
of json and systemu. Assuming those could hit the system installed versions,
then this would be compliant, I think.
* Replaced hard-coded paths with macros where appropriate %{_bindir} rather
than /usr/bin, etc
* Used valid Group as found in /usr/share/doc/rpm-*/GROUPS on an EL or Fedora
System
* Do not enable the daemon/service by default (this is actually an init script
change)
* Remove zero-byte files
* Remove .gitignore files
* Don't mix tabs and spaces in spec file
* Provide URL
* Remove Packager tag
* Update source url
* Replace %define with %global
* Update license to official RH abbreviations
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main)
* Remove explicit package requirements for each package as they are implied if
they require the base package (ruby, rubygems, etc)
* reference to SUSE probably should be removed. (I can understand why they are
there, but I don't think that's compatible with the guidelines from Fedora.)
This one is debatable to me.
