[Guidelines change] Changes to the packaging guidelines

[Jason L Tibbitts III]

Here are the recent changes to the packaging guidelines:

The documentation section of the guidelines has been updated to include
a prohibition on using both %doc and direct installation of files into
%_pkgdocdir.

 * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/338 

-----

The Python guidelines were modified to clarify the use of unversioned
macros (%__python instead of %__python2 or %__python3, for example).
 * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python
 * https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Packaging%3APython&diff=406053&oldid=405394
 * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/498

If a package builds a module for multiple python interpreters, it must
be done below the source tree and not in the %{py3dir} anymore. For an
example see:
 * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Building_more_than_once

-----

The guidelines on library bundling have been expanded to provide
information on some additional cases where the packaging committee may
grant exceptions.
 * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries#Some_reasons_you_might_be_granted_an_exception
 * https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Packaging%3ANo_Bundled_Libraries&diff=406057&oldid=383256
