kbuild: rpm-pkg: skip build dependency check on non-rpm systems
Commit 8818039f ("kbuild: add ability to make source rpm buildable using koji") added the BuildRequires: field. Checking the build dependency is fine, but one annoyance is that 'make (bin)rpm-pkg' fails on non-rpm systems [1]. For example, Debian provides rpmbuild via 'apt install rpm', but of course cannot meet the requirement listed in the BuildRequires: field. It is possible to pass RPMOPTS=--nodeps to work around it, but it is reasonable to do it automatically. If 'rpm -q rpm' fails, it is not an RPM-managed system. (The command 'rpm' is not installed at all, or was installed by other means.) In that case, pass --nodeps to skip the build dependency check.
