[OpenAFS] Small suggestion for RH spec file?

[Derek Atkins]

I'm away on vacation, but I've been sent code for the SPEC file to
_generate_ CellServDB at runtime from a CellServDB.global (replaced
with the RPM) and a CellServDB.local (where you place your local
information).  This change will go into future (read: 1.2.9) RPMs.
