[libvirt PATCH 6/8] rpm: Introduce new macros for handling of systemd units

systemd provides a number of standard RPM macros but they don't
quite satisfy our requirements, as evidenced by the fact that we
have already built some custom tooling around them.

Scenarios that the standard macros don't cover and that we're
already addressing with our custom ones:

  * for some services (libvirtd, virtnetworkd, virtnwfilterd)
    there are multiple conditions that might lead to a restart,
    and we want to make sure that they're not needlessly
    restarted several times per transaction;

  * some services (virtlogd, virtlockd) must not be restarted
    during upgrade, so we have to reload them instead.

Issues that neither the standard macros nor our custom ones
address:

  * presets for units should be applied then the unit is first
    installed, not when the package that contains it is.

The package split that happened in 9.1.0 highlighted why this
last point is so important: when virtproxyd and its sockets
were moved from libvirt-daemon to the new libvirt-daemon-proxy
package, upgrades from 9.0.0 caused presets for them to be
applied.

On a platform such as Fedora, where modular daemons are the
default, this has resulted in breaking existing deployments in
at least two scenarios.

The first one is machines that were configured to use the
monolithic daemon, either because the local admin had manually
changed the configuration or because the installation dated
back to before modular daemons had become the default. In this
case, virtproxyd.socket being enabled resulted in a silent
conflict with libvirtd.socket, which by design shares the same
path, and thus a completely broken setup.

The second one is machines where virtproxy-tls.socket, which is
disabled by default, had manually been enabled: in this case,
applying the presets resulted in it being disabled and thus a
loss of remote availability.

Note that these are just two concrete scenarios, but the problem
is more generic. For example, if we were to add more units to an
existing package, per the current approach they wouldn't have
their presets applied.

The new macros are designed to avoid all of the pitfalls
mentioned above. As a bonus, they're also simpler to use: where
the current approach requires restarts and other operations to
be handled separately, the new one integrates the two so that,
for each scriptlet, a single macro call is needed.
