Unannounced soname bump (Rawhide): brotli (libbrotli{common,enc,dec}.so.1.0.1 -> libbrotli{common,enc,dec}.so.1)

[Adam Williamson]

brotli was updated from 1.0.1-3 to 1.0.3-1 in Rawhide on 2018-03-03.
This update bumped the sonames from libbrotli{common,enc,dec}.so.1.0.1
to libbrotli{common,enc,dec}.so.1 (not a typo, that's really the change).
This soname bump was not announced, as it is supposed to be.

httpd (Apache) and webkit2gtk3 (via woff2) depend on these libs. So this
broke any web server, and multiple images (including release blocking
ones) which depend on webkit2gtk3 for one reason or another, and so the
whole Rawhide compose - the 20180305.n.0 Rawhide compose failed due to
this issue.

Both dependencies have now been rebuilt. However, I still wanted to
send this mail to draw attention to another unannounced soname bump
that broke the compose.

Once again, folks, *please* announce your soname bumps, and co-ordinate 
rebuilds.

Didn't know I was supposed to. Sorry about that. I'll try and remember to
do so next time.

I see in the file list:

%{_libdir}/*.so.*

I've lost count of how many problems we've had from unannounced soname 
bumps recently. It's going to keep happening so long as our packaging 
guidelines continue to allow this construction.

Anyway, the only thing better than one soname bump is a second one, so:
