[Fedora-packaging] Ada guidelines changes

[Björn Persson]

I would like to propose some changes to the Ada packaging guidelines.

Proposal:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Rombobeorn/Ada_Guidelines_Changes

Trac ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/154

The following is a  brief summary of the changes. See the wiki page for the 
full proposal.

· There is currently a rule that a -devel package must not contain all the 
source files of the library. I think this rule should be removed, because it 
causes a lot of work for very little benefit.

· The macro GNAT_optflags has been replaced with Gnatmake_optflags and 
GPRbuild_optflags, and the guidelines need to be updated to reflect this. The 
guidelines should also mention that some other macros might need to be used if 
the underlying GNAT tools are invoked directly.

· The macro GNAT_arches shall be used when there is a need to prevent attempts 
to build an Ada package on some secondary architectures.

· The value of _GNAT_project_dir has been changed to "/usr/share/gpr".

· The guidelines page should be moved from the Packaging guidelines drafts 
category to the Packaging guidelines category.
