    kbuild: rpm-pkg: fix version number handling · 25b080bd

    The "Release:" field of the spec file is determined based on the
    .version file.
    
    However, the .version file is not copied to the source tar file.
    So, when we build the kernel from the source package, the UTS_VERSION
    always indicates #1.  This does not match with "rpm -q".
    
    The kernel UTS_VERSION and "rpm -q" do not agree for binrpm-pkg, either.
    Please note the kernel has already been built before the spec file is
    created.  Currently, mkspec invokes mkversion.  This script returns an
    incremented version.  So, the "Release:" field of the spec file is
    greater than the version in the kernel by one.
    
    For the source package build (where .version file is missing), we can
    give KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=%{release} to the build command.
    
    For the binary package build, we can simply read out the .version file
    because it contains the version number that was used for building the
    kernel image.
    
    We can remove scripts/mkversion because scripts/package/Makefile need
    not touch the .version file.
