I've just had enough of the "if BLARGH BuildArch: noarch" BS.

We have had an rpm that supports it for almost 10 years (maybe more, I
can't remember if 4.4.9 didn't support it really).

I am removing *all* contitionals on noarch subpackages and consecutively
will drop %noarchpackage from rpm macros.

Time to move on with the times, if anyone wants to support antiquated rpm
version, please do it on a branch.
