    RedHat: Update the dist, srpm, and rpm make targets
    
    The top-level makefile target to build RHEL RPMs have several issues:
    
     - Files for every version are written to the same packages
       directory. Each run overwrites the ChangeLog, and the wildcards
       used to find the source tarball and the SRPM match files left
       from earlier versions, so makesrpm.pl can be given the wrong
       tarball, or extra arguments, and rpmbuild can rebuild old SRPMs.
    
     - The whole NEWS file is packaged as the release notes, instead of
       just the notes for the release being built.
    
     - The targets do not work when the build is configured in a
       separate object directory, since the tools are run with paths
       relative to the current directory, and make-release must run in
       the git working tree.
    
     - The packages are built from the HEAD commit, so uncommitted
       changes in the working tree are silently left out.
    
     - The srpm target builds a doc tarball, which the spec file does not
       use, and which requires running configure and make man-pages, which
       is time consuming.
    
    Update the targets to fix these:
    
     - Use the make-release --per-version-dir option to write the release
       files to a per-version directory, and build the rpms under it too.
       Use git-version to find the version string, and pass makesrpm.pl the
       exact paths in the per-version directory.
    
     - Use the make-release --relnotes option to extract the release notes
       for the current release from the NEWS file. Default RPM_RELNOTES and
       RPM_CHANGELOG to the files written by make-release. Builders can still
       set them to supply their own files.
    
     - Use abs_top_srcdir and abs_top_builddir to locate the tools in the
       source tree and the packages directory in the build tree, and run
       make-release from the source tree.
    
     - Use the make-release --no-allow-dirty option to refuse to build from
       a dirty working tree.
    
     - Run make-release with --no-doc-tarball in the srpm target. The dist
       target still makes the doc tarball.
    
     - Quote the path arguments, and move the packaging variables
       together near the top of the Makefile.
    
    The rpm target still uses a wildcard to find the SRPM, because this is
    name is derived by rpmbuild based on the version string, but this should
    safe now, since a per-version directory can only hold one SRPM.
